Nobody is allowed to discuss any item that may involve de-ac procedures.

No, it is not going that way, the projectile body on this round is in 2 pieces, which I can undo. The proj is empty. The nose of the fuse comes off and all its internals are gone. I cannot get the base of the fuse undone from the separate projectile nose.

Roger,

I certainly do not want anyone to get harmed and i also agree that one should not try to dearm stuff if not EOD.

Just to reassure everyone this is NOT a home EOD job here is a photo of the projectile in pieces. The 2 parts I cannot separate are in the red box.

It looks a good job so far.How come you want to split the `boxed` part up?
you might damage it beyond repair?

Re:25x163 Hotchkiss HE-T Projectile cutaway diagra

I will only undo it if it can come out easily, any chance of damaging it and I'll leave it. It cant be that badly stuck as the moisture does not appear to have got inside the proj and the 2 steel parts (which I thought would be rusted togehter) came undone easily. I thought about soaking it in WD-40. The next thing to try after that is gently heating it with a fairly cool flmae from a blowtorch. I am 100% sure there are no explosives in there, as there is a hole through the middle of the brass part, you can see it is only a thread into the steel part.

I separated the 2 pieces today, with no damage and not resorting to blowtorches. The thread was not corroded or damaged, just done up very tight. It was even well lubricated by someone at some stage.

Sectioned 25mm Hotchkiss projectile

Just to add to the diagrams earlier in this thread, here's a sectioned AP projectile.

Were the AP projectiles for the rimless AA and rimmed AT round the same?
