I was thinking that it might be possible to tell if it's armed just by weighing it. Of course you would need to know the weights of an empty and a "full" one. The wikipedia picture of it has what looks like a "safety" pin/clamp around the center of the tube. The garage one doesn't have that. Could mean that it's been used, or that it's armed and ready to go. Re: What is this, came from some friends clearing out their garage - decay - 07-03-2017 Early lawn dart prototype?
