I've never been in the "army" but I will excuse your remark as pure and simple ignorence. I was a US Marine.....there is a difference
but Honest question so honest answer. The only chemical or anti chemical weapons I've ever sean that come in objects that look like that would be antidotes.
BUT
I've only been schooled in the Basics of chemical warfare so I would not count me as a definative source.
Those could be inserts for mortars or artillery. That would explain why they are in glass. Insert the glass rod, launch mortar motar hits glass breaks Nerve agent dispersed. I don't see any seringes or injectors in there but that dosent mean they aren't there.
Furthermore, the standard US auto injector that our forces use comes in a plastic tube that has a spring loaded needle.
