Hey /b/
This is Vietnamese, but I don't know what it says, my grandfather took it while serving in Vietnam, he is dead now and didn't tell anyone about it
The numbers on the side are: 42-65-54
>>745742932
"Place into anal careful" is the literal translation
self bump
>>745743028
oh thanks
>>745742932
Looks like an unexploded RPG. Picking up a dud would probably be significant if you or a soldier in Vietnam. Why else would he bring back something like this?
>>745742932
Looks like the fuze of some projectile.

>>745744239

I'll wrap it in foil first
There's the string I can see

OP Dont do these unless y ou wanna die
>>745742932
This is not vietnamese. google vietnamese alphabet : not vietnamese.
>>745744783
I mean.. it was taken from Vietnam....
>>745744783
It's chinese.
>>745744864
the first character means "no" in chinese
I think it is Chinese
can someone translate the word on it?
>>745743028
kek
>>745745139
>>745745168
"no not microwave anon-san"
First character is 天, heaven. Working on the other ones, but fuck counting strokes and looking up radicals.
>>745742932
>>745745139
it is definitely chinese, but the first chracter is not "no. It is pronounced "tian" meaning "sky" or "heaven"
I can't make out the other chracters clearly enough.
>>745745405
Please?
Op can we get a great picture of letters?
>>745742932
"I sucked off 5 gooks in a brothel for this"
Loosely translated. Working on the rest.

It's a claymore mine.
>>745742932
Di di mau
>>745745936
its a mine but not a claymore
Working on finding a magnifying glass or something
>>745746052
thats small for antitank so its antipersonel
>>745745429
>>745746052
I was wrong, it isn't "tian". My gf says the first two characters means "not related"
She can't make out the rest
take a proper picture with focus you retard
Din du nuffin
>>745742932
Hey , that is actually not vietnamese. It is actually Chinese. Here is what it says: "Reply to this or your mother will die in her sleep"
>>745746255
Fuck you
im not gonna reply because i hate my mother
>>745746052
fix your focus you idiot
>>745746176
im trying god damnit
>>745745418
Second one looks like 父 radical top right and 田 bottom right, and I'm not sure about the left radical. I can't find any character with that combination in the dictionaries, but my chink-fu is poor.
It a fuse for a projectile, prob timed for air burst or ground burst (am ex EOD)
>>745746162
she now says the other bit says
"1 formula"
>>745744182
now that I see the relative size of the thing, the fuse to a 60mm mortar makes the most sense. That would explain why it's full of dirt and wood. because it came down from a high angle could have picked up some debris and was later dug up. the UXO disposed of and he kept the fuse.
>>745746345
无 ? - 1式
From looking at it im pretty sure this is the first and the last
>>745742932
>The numbers on the side are: 42-65-54
Your mom's measurements?
>>745746052
it's probably a spent blasting cap or trigger for some kind of munition, guessing a personnel mine. i didn't get any proper training on far east munitions, only balkan, russian and central european stuff but i'm guessing the ribber part at the top is the fuze delay, the main piece is the actual blasting cap or trigger charge, and that the wood was an improvised or specifically purposed handle, probably for sticking under things. hole going through the middle was probably the main safety pin. if there's a hole on the opposite side it's almost definitely a safety.
i could be very, very wrong though. it's not uncommon for soldiers to bring back things that almost killed them though.
>>745746490
>>745743028

>>745746490
>>745742932
It's a booby trap, op!
Get out of the house now!!
>>745746560
took a closer look at the other things, it's almost definitely a fuze for some kind of mortar or similar charge. the ribbed bit at he top is certainly the delay thing, the impact must have caused the wood to be embedded. at first i thought it looked intentional but it almost certainly isn't after taking another glance.
>>745746466
Yeah looks like you're onto something, but I'm stumped by that second character.
>>745746560
While I agree with you it is also fair to say that, Reply to this or your mother will die in her sleep.
>>745746255

Since this seems like a thread with a few knowing peopley, i will contribute, i found this coin in about 30cm depth in the forest ground with my metal detector, the other side is so destroyd that u cant see anything

Time for another round of "Will it Explode?".
OP, if no one here can help try reddit /whatisthisthing
someone there will be able to read it.
Is it not the percussion cap from some sort of ordnance, most likely an artillery round. The cap on the top would be twisted either for it to detonate on impact or after 'x' amount of time thus it explodes either in the air or under the ground creating two difference effects.
I'm not a rice gook so I don't understand the lettering but I collect shells and percussion caps from WW1 artillery/ ships etc and have seen many like this.

>>745747489
Looks similar?
>>745747972
kek imagine 50+ years worth of volatile ordnance as well lmao op would get cooked like a gook covered in agent orange
Looks to me like a training mortar shell. The stuff inside is inert filler. The flat cap at the top is where the detonator/fuse assembly would go on a live shell.
>>745746992
>>745748064
pretty sure that'd be it.
nice taste.
It's not a mortar head you fucking mongols. It's the fuze for an artillery shell. Notice how it has to be screwed in, the top twisted and set as a timer for the type of explosion shut the fuck up trying to tell this op it's a mortar.
Fucking fresh out of college history cunts go do some research take it from someone who's a museum curator in SE England, learn your subject matter before teaching other people what you think you know.
>>745748300
It's fuse not fuze you fuck nut

hey op where do you live, i want to check the news tomorrow
I am Vietnamese but I cannot read that as it is old writing. It was revised later on, similar to Korean. Many older Asian countries used Chinese characters, like Japan still does. I can ask my family to try to read it maybe, idk.

>>745749448
"Indian Numerals"
My weeb ass friend says it might be a date
>>745748064
I reckon you've got it there anon.
That is an axle shaft end off of a Chinese military truck. Was he a mechanic?
>>745750255
No, he was captain of the 4th Infantry Division
>>745743574
Literally is nothing like it, it's not aerodynamic at all. Look at OPs pic.. lol fucking rpg..
>>745748108
This anon gets it. That is definitely a training round for either a rifle grenade or mortar. Probably a mortar given the shape.
>>745744843
I wonder who supplied the NBA and Viet Cong?
>>745744625

>>745747854
>>745748108
>>745750794
Found it. It's a Viet Cong mortar shell. Likely a dummy or training round.
>>745751018
THATS IT
>>745751018
good job
>>745742932
I used my Vietnamese book to translating the characters to our alphabet, but I still don't understand what it means

>>745742932
OP, this is VERY important. Is the filler just wood or is it coming out in thin strings?
If it's not wood, that is likely Cordite and will blow up, fucking killing you if you heat it up.
>>745751386
kek.
It might be a part of a plane propeller
>>745751832
There's 2 possibilities I see here.
This is a training round. The cap was ribbed like that to indicate it wasn't a live round. It was filled with wood to add weight.
This is a LIVE round. The cap was never removed, nor was a detonator inserted before firing. It is still filled with live cordite and could detonate if triggered.
I reckon that's a bomb fuse
>>745752352
When packed tightly together and left to age for 50 years, Cordite can look a LOT like that. Those look just like splinters of old rotten cordite.
It could also be wood but it would not be easy to fit a wood slug into a shape like that and have it fit so perfectly.

OP hasn't posted for a while. Did you kill yourself?
>>745753324
Let's hope so
>>745752524
Sounds like this could get messy, how delightful
Op is kill?
>>745748631 its fuze. fuse is something completely different
>>745746400
why is there a lamp fixture in that far left one?
>>745754052
People like making lamps out of weird things.
Just look at the nazis, they made lampshades out of human skin with tattoos on it.
>>745753834
op is kill
rip in peace OP
I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for this. I should have recognized cordite when I saw it the first time.
I look forward to reading about this in my news feed tomorrow.

fuuuck i wish op had answered me now I'll have to put effort into finding him on the news
OP here, am not kill, and it is not filler wood
>>745757590
Fire that shit up faggot DO IT
420 BLAZE IT
>>745757590
Ok, I want you to take a SMALL bit (say the size of a grain of rice) of the filler outside and try to light it.
If it goes off with a bang, you're looking at something like Dunnite. If it fizzes and spits it's likely Amatol.
>>745758088
Eh fuck it, why not
>>745758188
Post pics, OP. Do it for honor

I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU, OP
>>745746490
>>745742932
Chinese you moron
>>745759289
It's 50+ years old and was likely left outside for some time so it's not entirely surprising.
Did it kind of liquify while sizzling?
Was able to peel off a good chunk
>>745746325
THIS.
i never reply to those. sometimes i want to say "I wish you COULD kill that fat bitch in her sleep" but that would be replying and I don't want to take a chance on accidentally saving her life.

Observe if it burns anything like this:

Nigger
>>745746255
under rated
>>745759714
It's not going to burn anywhere near as smooth and evenly. You notice that it leaves behind a liquid residue that quickly solidifies. That's going to be what we're looking for when you burn it.
After burning it for some time, it just leaves a greyish shell of itself
>>745759714
That burned much slower than I was expecting.
>>745760039
Well at this point I don't think it's cordite. It looks more like old punky wood.

>>745760039
Ok, I'm going to go back to my original theory that it's a training round. The wood must have just expanded with age.

>>745761697
It's still a good find. Thanks for sharing OP! We don't get good threads like these on /b/ much anymore.
>>745757590
Where did you find it hidden? Your gramps probably left more shift hidden. Also love how vets can die and never mention to the family that they left a possible explosive.
>>745760046
Yes. Gun powder and cordite burn fairly slowly in an open space but give off immense amounts of gas. When you compres it that causes and explosion.
>>745758839
God you are such a fag with that knife.
>>745761927
Yeah this is like random /b/ that I remember from 10 years ago. I still check here briefly every few days but most of the time the first page is all ex gf porn, dickgirls and rekt threads. But every now and then a good thread like this pops up. I'm glad today was one of those days.
That's a compressor rotor inlet cone from a Gas turbine compressor rotor. Fucking RP faggot
The markings indicate the compressor rotor part and serial. The top half ( left) is where you mount a pinion gear and and right half are PCD air seals . The rotors are separate discs that make the entire assembly. Notice the damage it indicates it's a rotating component. Op is a fucking faggot
You can see the cone in pic related

>compressor rotor part

Right, numbers crudely stamped into a high velocity rotating element, gotta love those uncontained engine failures.
>pinion gear
Those pitiful grooves would have absolutely no strength to carry the load of the implied compressor rotor behind it.
>the damage it indicates it's a rotating component
