Flechette Darts 1 lb pk - US Military Surplus

These darts were occasionally encountered imbedded in vegetation that had been occupied by hostile forces. The darts were loaded in 2.75 air to ground rockets, 105 cannon and 40mm grenade rounds. This was a real game changer in strafing an area. If you had been in the bush, you had one of these pinned to your fatigues.

I have no idea what I will do with these. None of mine came rusted. The vast majority are collated in opposite directions in a two-threaded coil. I think I'll try to see what weapon they might have been used in.  Another reviewer said they might be good as blowgun darts. I'm thinking I might try that.

These were exactly as I thought they would be except that I thought they would be slightly larger, no big deal. And there were less rusty ones than I thought there would be due to their age(4-5%,I think).I thought there would be at least 10-15% or more rusty ones! They are mainly for show/display or decoration, as I have NO IDEA how to reload with these even if I wanted to. They could become blowgun darts, though.
