3.7cm Pak AP V 3.7cm Flak AP

[DAZ REICH]

Which shell/gun performed best against armour in standard AP projectile form 3.7cm Pak or 3.7cm Flak.

Also does anyone have any info or pics etc on the 3.7cm flak AP or other projectiles.

Yours DAZ

Hi Daz,

I don't have any specs of the Pak vs FlaK performance, but i'd guess they are pretty similar based on the similar volume of charge in each case, and the shape and type of each projectile.....Ill stand back and wait to be proved wrong....again.

Here's a picture of a 3,7cm Pak Pzgr round with beautiful markings that I saw for sale when I was in the US...sadly I didnt win it.

If you want pics of other rounds...i might have some, I tend to hoard.

Hope this helps
Rich

Hi DM 53
Yes the internet makes the world a very small place. I just thought it was time I branched out a bit.

From another topic but very true of Stiegr is that the Pzgr40 of the 3,7 cm has another crimp ( like most of the arrowhead cases) see attached pics of the 3,7 cm and 5 cm

 

[DM 53]

Here the 5 cm with also a lower crimp

 

[DM 53]

Here the headstamp of the 5 cm
