They were called Lazy Dogs, and we dropped millions of them in Japan too. The body was lead so they hit like bullets raining from the sky.

Actually, the body was steel . . . but otherwise correct.

The early versions were forged steel and the later ones were lathe turned steel.

Lazy Dog "bombs" (sometimes called Red Dot Bombs or Yellow Dog Bombs) projectiles were small, unguided kinetic missiles, each measuring 1.75 inches in length, 0.5 inches in diameter, and weighing 207 grains, or about 0.03 pounds or 0.7 oz.

Lazy dog bombs were designed to be dispersed over the battlefield with Mark 44 cluster adapters. Lazy dog bombs were technically not bombs because they used no explosive, but were in many ways equally destructive. Mark 44 cluster adapters were one of many possible means to deliver "Lazy Dog" projectiles.

Lazy dog bombs were descended from projectiles of almost identical design and appearance that were originally developed early in WW II as early as 1941. The Korean War-era and Vietnam War-era "Lazy Dog" was further developed, tested and deployed into the 1950s and 1960s.

Originally an Armament Laboratory program code named LAZY DOG, the program to develop this weapons system involved Delco Products Corporation, F&F Mold and Die Works, Inc., Haines Designed Products, and Master Vibrator Company of Dayton. The project objective was to design and test free-fall missiles and their dispensing units for use in bombers and fighters. LAZY DOG anti-personnel missiles were designed to spray enemy troops with small projectiles with three times the force of standard air-burst bombs. The Armament Laboratory in conjunction with the Flight Test Laboratory conducted wind tunnel tests of a number of bomb shapes, which design studies indicated to be the most efficient for stowage and release from high performance aircraft.

Experimental LAZY DOG projectiles of various shapes and sizes were tested at Air Proving Ground, Eglin AFB, Florida, in late 1951 and early 1952. An F-84, flying at 400 knots and 75 feet above the ground, served as the test bed while a jeep and a B-24 were the targets. The result was eight hits per square yard. Tests revealed Shapes 2 and 5 to be the most effective. Shape 5, an improved basic LAZY DOG slug, had the force of a .50 caliber bullet and could penetrate 24 inches of packed sand. Shape 2 could penetrate 12 inches of sand, as opposed to the six-inch penetration of a .45 caliber slug fired point blank.

Shhhhh.........cnn is looking for more ideas before November 6th.;)

They may have made some of them from steel but the bucket full I still have are all lead bodies. I used to have hundreds of them, I bought a big box full of them at the Army/Navy Surplus store in Missoula MT when I was a kid. We would shoot them out of wrist rockets at squirrels and other nasty critters.
 
So because I can't help myself...

Busenhalter-6 posted on her Facebook last night that she was grossed out because her cab driver in Orlando took a leak in a cup... rather than stop the taxi to take a whizz....

All her friends are freaking out saying "You should have him arrested..." "You should report him for indecent exposure." "You should... blah blah blah...."

All I could think to say was "You all are assuming the gender of the cab driver..."

Annnnndddd... That's why I shouldn't be on Fakebook...

Cheers,
