A guy at work has this and was letting his kids play with it in the back yard. I told him it might be a collectable so he took a pic and now I am asking for some info.

The base of the shells at the primer has the text L C 8 6

Thanks

Those are linked 7.62 NATO blank cartridges, made by Lake City in 1986. They're used by the military for live fire exercises and honor guard firing parties. Still very much a live and potentially dangerous cartridge when chambered, just a cardboard wad instead of a bullet. Definitely not something I'd let children play with. With the visible corrosion on the rounds, probably not too collectable, and I doubt they would all go off when fired, either.
