UXO Masquerading as Inert Practice Rounds

Much newer ordnance, such as rockets, are sometimes painted blue and used for training. They may be inert but do not forget the propellant, as one contractor found out when cutting a long practice rocket in half with a torch for transport to the junkyard in 2001. The two halves flew around the base for some time. 

It is a little like gathering wild mushrooms. You may know what a safe puffball looks like. The range may be full of blue painted 3.5-inch rockets. But the little young stunted destroying angel may have grown in the clump of puffballs. That rusted 3.5-inch may become your destroying devil.
