Looks like someone shot a old casing. The split areas are fresh brass, It recently happened. The round it self has been outside for a year or two.

I shoot old brass all the time with my .22 and I suspect that is what happened here.

my reason is the fluting lines on the brass from the fluted chamber of a gun using a non rotating bolt.
id agree and say cetme or fal type gun.

Possibly a live round heated in a fire, then exploded.

why would someone have a fire at a range?

Who knows why. But I do know they had one at the Lapeer Pit range, and that exact thing occurred. A live .223 round exploded, and looked very similar to that one.

Why would it have CETME flutting marks if it was thrown in a fire?

i think someone shot it from a CETME and then someone else shot the brass as it landed 40 feet away from the CETME :badass:

I would agree with the fire, If you ever watched myth-busters they have a bullets shooting out of bon-fire episode, and its a myth they just exspload and look like that when its done.

I'd buy that story, if the primer wasn't struck.

I think someone threw a CETME in the fire and that's all that was left.

Possibly a misfire, and the reason it was tossed.

i felt the same way about my CAI CETME when the spring was to weak to chamber rounds. a new stock it worked fine and sold it to a new owner left a bad taste in my mouth bout CAI.

This photo just made me laugh, fart and almost pee myself at the same time!!
Thanks for posting!!

I haven't shot my Cetme yet. I think I bought it about seven years ago from a coworker that needed the money pretty bed. (Plus a can of Nato English "L2A2" IIRC)

I polished the trigger pack, so it doesn't feel like there is gravel in it any longer, but it still seems... Well... Put together by a drunk Monkey.
