As a follow on to my now identified Oerlikon alloy A/P Projectile, I include a couple of pictures of a 20 m/m x 102 Vulcan round complete with a two part alloy projectile crimped in place. This contains a penetrator core weighing in at 67 Grammes. The nose of the penetrator is secured in position within the alloy cap by means of a small "O" ring, the base of the core sitting in the rear section. The case is of plated steel.
