<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1510278, member: 26302"]While its hard to believe shell casings from rifles or even artillery were brought back for this purpose, I heard it was ship shells. The large Missouri class battleships had enormous casings for their main guns, and when they restocked the spent casings were offloaded. THat is more plausible, but I agree it was probably mainly a PR move, like much of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
