Lazy Dogs?

The neatness factor was high, since they did look like little, miniature bombs. The ones I remember were nowhere near as neatly polished as the one pictured. I remember a grey, phosphate finish to them. Many had bent fins you had to straighten yourself. They were no good in slingshots and too heavy to launch with fireworks.

The lore was that they would "go straight through an engine block" when dropped from a bomber. I highly doubt that, but I would not want to get koncked on the noggin' with one.
