A new altoids tin

[Big-Target]

I stumbled across a new flavor altoid, that came in a round tinI made a pic of it to show to the hoodlums(possible mini-kit tin). And in this pic I did use theGlasshart Special Endura, the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Police, and a Al Mar SERE2000, as size references.

I hope this picture comes up!!!

I'll have to run a volume calculation and see if it is any larger than the standard tin. Things pack a punch, don't they? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Even if you don't use the tin for a mini-kit. Those citrus sours a damn good, and I would keep a full tin of those next to the mini-kit tin so you could have something to nibble on while you're on the trail!!!!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

It seems that the round tin is a tad larger.

For the round tin, there are two regions, large and small. The larger region has a volume of 5.11 inches cubed, and the smaller has a volume of 2.16. Total volume is thusly 7.27 in&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;.

The squared tin can be treated as a box of dimensions 3.75*2.25*0.75. Volume is 6.33.

In other words, there is 0.97 cubic inches more space for an interested Hoodlum to cram more stuff! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

thanks for the specs!!!!!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> If you don't mind, I took the liberty to link this to the Hooldums.
These specs have to be brought to their attention!!!!!

Actually, the box is a hair smaller than I said, as the box has rounded corners. The rounded tin seems to split into 2/3 large and 1/3 small, though this is only a rough estimate.

I'll look and see if I can find a good graduated cylinder, as that's the only true way to efficiently calculate such and odd volume without tiresome calculations.
