Just what they say they are. They project a parachute flare. Sell them for collector's ammo...

I'm wondering if it might be one of the type that was used by bombers for illuminating the targets. They would have a downward launching box of these barrels that were loaded with something like that. I know you have a screwdriver beside it and have published the measurements...but it's still hard to put in perspective...others will be along shortly...

That would make sense Tom. I wondered if it might fit a gun like our 38mm gas guns. Had it been shorter that would have been my guess.
