<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 306881, member: 54"]Hopefully it isn’t some very hazardous substance. I still remember drilling into an 80 pound US Army mustard gas projectile about 10 years ago. Markings were all perfect for a live 155mm mustard gas shell. It dated from WWII. I was 99.9% sure it was empty because the manual said a filled one would weigh 88 lbs. I’m still alive, book and scale were both correct, fortunately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
