Default M72 law

I would like to start some discussion on various aspects of this weapon as it relates to it's use within the CF in the 1970's and possession now of a spent case.

So, lets start with these questions:-

- were they issued on exercise in a "drill purpose" format?
- what types of units and vehicle crews would have they been issued to?
- what were the markings seen on them in the above format?

- is the empty case having been fired considered inert and consequently not a weapon of any kind?

my purpose is to better understand if a CF Ferret crew would possibly have had them issued on exercise and is there any provenance to that effect.
