large slug!

[heavymetal]

Found this at our local park this afternoon

This is the second bullet I found on that park, the first one was a .45

Any idea what kind of caliber is this?

Looks like a .50 Cal. to me, type used in Browning .50 Cal machine guns.

Don't have a clue but what the heck is that doing in the Park? You just never know these days.

where i'm from, people under the influence of alcohol during New Year use their firearm for fireworks

It's a good thing it hit the ground and not somebody's roof!

I can't imagine getting by this thing, it's so heavy!

Hard to tell the caliber without some measurements. I do agree with the speculation on how it got there though. Central Indiana has the same issue with people who shoot into the air at New Years and/or 4th of July or any other reason for that matter. A little alcohol or stupidity and anything can happen. Nobody thinks about where those bullets are going to come down. People can and do get hurt by them.

I experience the same thing, I can never figure out why I find so much ammo in a park.

Kind of hard to tell from the photo, but I don't see any rifling grooves. I don't think it has been shot.

I have also found a lot of ammo in parks. I think it gets there just like coins....dropped out of pockets.

I sometimes scratch my head and try to figure out how it got there
