It's not painted as a casing, more like an exceptionally extended body. It rather looks like a tracer projectile body. I suspect somebody searched for 5.56mm projectile references and picked the tracer at random.

The crimp mark is quite far up though, rather than on the major diameter.

It is quite clearly painted as a brass casing, the rear half doesn't look close to the same color as the front copper in the op.

sigh

Man, 10 years ago I was in the middle leaning Left. Now I am so far left most ideas from the Right feel atrocious. I mean, they are...you know what I mean though.

[–] AtomicHotSauce@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Same. I don’t think they’ve invented a term for how far left I am now.

there's nothing better than exposure to right wing ideas to push someone with even an inkling of sense to the left.

Oh man, everytime I see a GPrime85 comic I am sad because the guy is legitimately talented and it hard to believe that a guy who is so talented could also have such stupid and contradictory takes: https://x.com/GPrime85/media

God passes the doobie to the left.
