I could never figure out what they would be good for- my not having an airplane nor being inclined to drop them on folks.

I think that kids played with them like they were little bombs and it cut their fingers and toughened the little buggers up.

That would have been great! In the 50's, the kid next door and I would set up his "army men" in trenches and emplacements fashioned out of the driveway gravel, then sit back a bit and throw more bits of stone at them. We could have "bombed" them from above with these jobbers.
