Looks like a 250kg WW2 bomb.

 

[Bob_Rock11]

Nope. Well, let's just say it's nothing that big...

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

[Bob_Rock11]

That's right DG but would you like to guess witch weapon or should I reveal that right away?

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

Nah... I'm just glad I won again. It's been awile :encouragement:
