These are both drill mortar rounds, distinguished by the blue colour. A mortar round has a range of about 5 miles. Alarmingly, they have 250 metre kill zone. In other words if they land in a car park everything within a 250 metre radius has a good chance of being killed, or at least seriously injured.
