Since it's a carrier projectile (possibly ICM, possibly smoke, possibly flares - I'd love a better pic...) yeah, it's okay.

The thing has already functioned. And even if it is an ICM projectile, fuze function and dispensing, vice range-to-impact, means he's probably nowhere near where the cargo was ejected, either.

In case someone wants to quibble about stuff left inside... it's simply not very likely - when the fuze functions, if it worked well enough to blow the bottom of the round off (as it's supposed to) then it shoved everything out with it.

Even if, in some bizarre world, something was left inside...

smoke canisters or WP-impregnated felt wedges would have burned either from exposure or the fuze function... a flare would have burned from exposure, and ICM bomblets would not have armed.

But I've never heard of a carrier round failing in that regard if the fuze functions well enough to blow off the base.

Parachutes fail to deploy, or burn, smoke canisters/wedges may fall in too dispersed a fashion if function is too high, or not be dispersed enough if function is too low, and ICM submunitions have their duds - but the carcase itself should be safe.

When you're faking pics, might as well fake commentary too...

After all, integrity is like virginity, and these people popped their cherry quite a while ago.

I would expect that kind of approach from a French soldier.
