thought some of you who collect odd ball items might like to see these. They are all either 30mm or 40mm and are experimental APDS, APFSD etc.
If anyone knows their project code name etc, do tell. In the second photo, the little chap on the left is a miniature HEAT round with electrical contacts in the nose wired to a detonator at the arse end.

Some excellent posts here, both shells and mortars etc, nice to see some different and in this case experimetal items. Tony.
 
Does anyone know what type of round the long 40mm apfsds projectile on the right is fired from? Looks like it should be from a CTA round.

Dave.
 
Is that all British stuff?

Several of the projectiles in the left-hand photograph look like British 40mm Test Vehicles which I believe were used in an 'Air Gun' to test various cores.
