Definitely military, you can tell by the headstamp. If I had to guess, I would say they were training rounds of some type.

[Dark Mod]

blanks? specifically to use with those red things that go in the barrel that let the gun cycle. The stuff we used in our belted guns for training looked alot like that

[Elchief]

Do the cases mostly look like 5.56, or 7.62 NATO?

Post some measurements or comparison photos. Somebody here will figure it out.

Looks like some 7.62 nato blanks. I believe they are linked for an M60.

Blanks. I have one of those from a family members military burial.

While hunting at Camp Pendelton I saw mounds of those pitched into the brush.
Looked like someone got tired of hauling them around lol.

They look like blanks, those red things are BFA's and the whole military gear thing is called Miles gear.
