Anyone know what this is?

Hmmmmm, trying to remember what the sub caliber rounds for the SMAW looked like. I know they had a round nose projectile and were kind if a big bullet, low charge so you had to arc em in.

Is the bullet about 9mm?

Coolest thing I ever fired. Use the sub caliber spotting rifle to arc in the 9mm rounds, arm the igniter, pull the trigger and boom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>boom!

The Dragon would have been the best thing I ever shot but the only rocket I was issued to fire I forgot to put my ear plugs in and when the thing ignited on the side of my head I think I blacked out and buried that missile about 2 inches beyond the point where it arms itself.

Pretty embarrassing as the opportunity to fire was for being high student in my platoon at ITS. Whats that ringing sound?
