I do hope, Sir, that these were USED batteries, and not charged ones!!!

of course they were! the charged ones were their "less lethal" taser rounds!

We found a rubber bullet in the woods on the Stanta training area at cadets. I think the term rubber bullet is misleading.

bit like inflatable dart board is it?

I understood that they authorised them in a more widespread manner only after the anarchy of the riots last year? I don't see why many innocents would be hanging about on the streets during major civil disorder (well not after things have really kicked off anyway).

The guys who have used these can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think these baton rounds are fired in a random fashion, but used at targeted individuals?

If it was my flat or shop that was being torched by those disaffected shits Id be only too happy to see them being used (D cells even better genius)

baton rounds come in all manor of shapes
