Here are some of the 40mm rounds from my collection I thought might interest some others.
Photo 1 l-r: M397 Bounding HE; M397A1 Bounding HE; M407A1 Practice; M406 HE
Photo 2 l-r: M433 HEDP; M433A1 HEDP; XM651E1 Tactical CS; XM?? Improved Effectiveness Cartridge.
Photo 3 l-r: Experimental Practice; M781 Practice; XM781 Practice; M713 Red Smoke Ground Marker.
Photo 4 l-r: XM635 Yellow Smoke Ground; M661 Green Star Parachute; XM585 White Star Cluster; AAI's Enclosed Area CS cartridge.
Photo 5 l-r: XM683 Rocket Assisted HE; Experimental AVCO Rocket Assisted HE; M430 HEDP; M384 HE
Photo 6 l-r: M576E2 Multiple Projectile; M576E1 Multiple Projectile; Experimental Scimitar loading with 13 thin metal gliders with a razor sharp leading edge; Experimental flechette loading.
Photo 7 l-r: Four variations of the Disposable Barrel Cartridge Area Test Ammunition (DBCATA) rounds. The far right is the XM690. A folded metal envelope in the case held the gas pressure effectively making a silent, smokeless, flashless cartridge.
Photo 8 l-r: Expended DBCATA case with the envelope extended; One of the numerous Telecartridge experimental cases using the folded metal envelope for usse in the M79/M203 launchers; Experimental CS loading with a ping-pong ball filled with powdered CS in a four-piece plastic sabot; Austrian Type 112 HE/PDSD made by ARGES.
I have many other sectioned ordnance that I will try and post at a later time.
