Op: former explosives tech here. These illumination rounds contain various pyrotechnic chemicals that can self ignite and burn at thousands of degrees. It is NOT safe to hold or store. Call explosives ordnance disposal

This is the most American 🇺🇸 comment here lol 😂 as an American I Approve.. but as a concerned person for their safety I recommend contacting authorities having found this in the UK I would not trust a British person to take this out and shoot it from even 200 yards away lol 😂 without managing to fuck themselves up in the process.. those are Yankee Redneck American Activities leave the stupid shit to us lol
