Picture 056 82mm Paper Weight. This was given to me by a departing National Guard Member who thought it was an inert Mortar Round. He had got it from the previous group before him. They had thought it was inert and were using it as a paper weight. It seemed obvious to me when it was handed to me that it was packed with explosives. I turned it in to ammunition & explosives storage for disposal.

Buzkashi, Kok-boru or Oglak Tartis (Persian: buzkashī: buz "goat" + kashi "taking out", goat grabbing) (Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Kazak, Tatar, Turkmen: kökbörü, kök "blue" + börü "wolf) is a traditional Central Asian team sport played on horseback. The steppes' people were skilled riders who could grab a goat from the ground while riding a horse at full gallop. The goal of a player is to grab the carcass of a headless goat, and then get it clear of the other players and pitch it across a goal line or into a target circle or vat.

The game is known as Buzkashi in Afghanistan and among Persian-speaking populations of Central Asia. While Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan refer to the game as Kok-boru or Oglak Tartis.[1] It is a National sport in Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan.
