Sorry to disagree with your Old Fella on the munitions thing Turtle, but after years in the Air Cadets & getting the chance to live fire Enfields .303 & 22. Conversions (1970's), then joining the Army, firing SLR's (also in .22 conversion mode), GPMG's, Browning 9mm, Smg's & finally the much maligned SA 80 through my time in the "Big Green drinking machine" (1980's-1990's) we certainly picked up some brass, sorted & weighed it over the years you tend to recognise various casings. And to keep my eye in, we often go walking over the old training areas with the hound & we're forever finding discarded casings.
