An update from a few weeks ago:


2076. An S.I. (safety, ignition) device from a military countermeasure flare. It fits within the casing and is ejected along with the charge, releasing the springs and allowing the ignition through the threaded hole. The burning on the back of the device is from the high temp fuel who's heat signature is designed to attract anti-aircraft missiles.
