Some more random cutaways of ammunition.

First is a 8mm German AP (SMK) that has a double crimp for the MG81
The next is a 30.06 Banded  High Velocity Armor Piercing experimental with a aluminum filler tip.
The third is the first American 30.06 Armor piercing round which was cancelled before WW1 for being a SOFT POINT!
Forth is a .308/7.62 Hunting Shack Munitions (HSM) Light Armor Piercing (LAP) with hardened steel penetrator that's glued into place.
7.62mm Brazilian Incendiary CBC/82 NATO
7.62mm Japan Low Recoil AO/W63 NATO

Does HSM make rounds for the military?  That wouldn't be in the same class as the M855 would it?

I bet.... the high % of a single, individual metal content in the HSM bullet would not allow it to be sold to the public.


And as always, Wolfganggross.. Thank You !!

Well done as usual.

I think Kent suggested that the double crimped 7,9 rounds were specifically for use in a remote gun pod that was pneumatically charged/cleared/ recharged, not mg81 in general.

I expected the Jap low recoil round to have a reduced powder charge or something... Not a cartridge that one sees very often... Cool,

Just got Kents book in English, haven't made it that far yet.  Saw the German version, didn't look that interesting.  Different story now.  This was Jack Wells last round to me!

HSM only sells the Light Armor Piercing round (127 + 150 grain and several other calibers) only to Law Enforcement, no military or civilian sales.  It would be more like the M855A1 which also has an exposed hardened tip penetrator, not the M855. Better because of its solid brass body.
They also have a couple other cool rounds that are LE only, like thier Glass Penetrator.

Well, Jack left you with a great cartridge. I found exactly one of these in all my years collecting 7,9. It was in a large lot of several thousand rounds of mixed types. As I recall it was an SmE load...
