I stumbled on a nice lot of ordnance at an auction and this items was all disassembled in a box of assorted fuses. I could not figure it out for a while, I thought it was an odd nail at first. The auction was of a WW2 vet who was involved in all kinds of ordnance training. There was a lot of neat items that I got outbid on but this little gem was a sleeper. The shell with it is deactivated. Apparently this was used to disable the tires of vehicles as well as an anti personal mine. It was buried with only the tip of the bullet exposed and very little pressure set it off.
