REVIEW: SCEPTER C131A1 double container for 120mm ammunition

Somehow it is impressive to stand next to this packaging material. For reference, these are two tubes for 120mm mortar rounds, connected in one container. The packaging of course does not contain any ammunition or ammunition parts. In principle, it is now like a plastic egg carton without eggs: trash.

Pretty big trash and also pretty practical: because a packaging of this size can of course be reused. The original labeling is still visible everywhere. By the way, this is the tool 120 mm mortar that is fed from these boxes.

We have set the container on the ground. What lies here weighs empty 9 kg and has dimensions of 97 x 39 x 19cm. This is what one side looks like...

...and this is the other side. Somehow futuristic. By the way, the packaging comes in two colors, OD and Tan.

There are plenty of ribs designed in a way that allows the ammunition containers to be stacked neatly on top of each other. When working with the 120mm mortar, you need more of them. Example of a nice rate of fire: 5 shots per minute for 5 minutes or 15 shots in 1 minute. Boom!

There are handles on both sides of the container. The packaging can be lifted alone or by two people.

The lid is extremely solid, let's unscrew it...

The massive thread and a nice, large gasket. The packaging is designed for extreme weather conditions, waterproof, and does not corrode. So you can store something safely inside for a long time. And if the nuclear war comes, it is easily decontaminated, says the manufacturer. We hope we never need that.

Let's go inside. This is what the lid looks like, with foam discs inside to cushion impacts. Ammunition is so sensitive...

There is a fabric strap...

… When you pull on it, you get the complete, supplied content out.

This is what the 120mm tube looks like empty. Plenty of space for anything else you might want to store. It just has to fit the dimensions of the tube.

At the bottom of the container is this compartment. It used to hold the grenade, with the straps you pull everything out of the container. After all, the 120mm mortar grenade weighs around twelve kilograms.

Then there is this mysterious piece in a different color. It secures the stabilization fins and additional charges at the other end of the grenade. Very specific, those who like to do DIY projects can surely build a nice lunchbox out of the thing. Or maybe not… 

There's the good thing standing next to its contents. SCEPTER C131A1 can certainly be used as a container for burying. Just don't forget the earth depots, otherwise archaeologists will be delighted in hundreds of years. Of course, you can also stack these things in the basement. HERE is the SPARTANAT Review of the Artillery Powder Charge Container.
