A .32 S&W case, fired, with some junk rammed into it. You can see the case is swollen from having it forced in.

The lower one looks like a primer or initiator charge for an artillery shell.

A blank for same, maybe.

That a nylon insert around the "primer"? If so, something electrically fired, that should be kept away from static electricity, on principle.

The first one looks like something bubba made.

The second one is a Primer, Electric and Percussion: MK15, MOD 3 , used in the 5"/54 naval gun.

The guns on the current frigates are 57mm and the former "Tribal" class destroyers had 76mm's.

Its a US gun, not sure if anyone else used it, but I'm fairly sure Canada has not used it in recent memory.

AYup!

It's a fired case. Note the dent in the primer.

Just some junk rammed into a fired case, not some special ammo for anything.

well,granddad told me he's got a box full of these special ammo,he was told that they were used in some industrial tool.which one it was he don't know.
 
probably a specialty round for either a slaughter house or a antique powder actuated tool such as a hot rivet expander... would give you nice point pressure with alot of mass behind it and in .32cal not be too punishing.
