Scrounger Training: Military Ordnance
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Looks like it's military, but what is it?
Keep in mind this is a very rough draft.
Identification of ammo 20mm or above:
The use of color coding is used to identify the primary role of the ammunition. The color coding can be found on the overall body, in color bands, the coloring of letters, or discs (large dots). When the ammunition has more then one role, i.e. a high explosive that is also incendiary, then one then one color would be found.
1. Yellow
Maritime Flares
26.5mm is standard Marine grade Flare gun.
1) Red Multi Star Round - usually 3-5 red stars for night time signaling.
2) Green Single Star Round - night time signal
3) Blue Smoke Round - for daytime signal

So, I have assembled a proposed update for this page, I would like to know who to send it to.
A summary, without images, follows: Scrounger Training: Military Ordnance A note prior to starting: although the author is military, all the information on this page has come from open-source information found on the Internet. Additionally, this information is United States specific, although most NATO nations should be similar. From just the outside of the case, you can find a lot of information. While a 52 pound case of grenades may be manageable, transporting artillery shells would require more forethought. Additionally, the military uses “nomenclature” – this isn’t a huge deal, just a little bit of mental gymnastics when reading. The following is a listing of commonly used ammunition markings: Ammunition greater than 20mm is marked according to the following color scheme: Yellow – HE, or High Explosive Brown – Low Explosive Gray – Chemical Light-Green – Smoke. Light-Red – Incendiary. White – Illuminating. Black – Armor Piercing. Aluminum (silver): Counter-measure. Blue – Practice. These rounds are usually inert (they just fly, but don’t explode) so are unlikely to be useful. Olive drab is used all the time, but is a camouflage color and should not be considered as a color for this scheme. While the base color is olive drab, all the markings are yellow, indicating a high explosive round. Confusing the whole scheme, there are also color bands and combinations. The band color schemes are: Yellow – High explosive burster Brown – Contains a low explosive charge (usually to expel the payload) Dark Green – Contains a toxic chemical agent Dark Red – Contains a riot control chemical agent Violet – Contains an incapacitating chemical agent White – Indicates an illuminating munition Black – The round is armor-defeating

Seeing an artillery Shell means 2 things
1. The army is (Or was) around in the area 2. There could be supplies Search in a general area and you probably could come across the site which may have a gun or some ammo and a canteen of water or something

Of course caution to all Military items should be used. But in books and movies we have all seen it, Military personnal, givin the order to not leave anyone, or thing alive. So, if this does ever happen, seeing a Military issued gun, or even a Humvee, could be a warning sign. But, with the true feeling of Compassion, that humans have, we may not have this problem. Just a thought is all.
