This is probably too late in the evening for me to post this, but before I forget…would anyone here happen to know the size (length, diameter, etc.) of the US M70 bomb, as seen on this site?
I’ve been able to find out that it weighed 115 lbs, and that (apparently) at least one could fit in a 55-gal drum, but that’s it.
(And no, I do not have one dug up and sitting on my coffee table or anything.)
(Thought I’d give this my one “bump,” while other people are still possibly awake)
I found this which is close, but not exact as it’s talking about the M47 100 lb bomb which was a contemporary of the 115 lb M70

Also, the operative word is probably how big “was” an M70, not how big “is” an M70. These were WWII weapons & I can’t imagine any are still anywhere in inventory except awaiting EPA & NIMBY compliant disposal.
The M70, 8 inches in diameter and approximately 51 inches long,
