Hello Chaps,I'm afraid that being a total technodork has always prevented me from posting "what's this" piccies,and I'm usually reduced to blundering around on Google until I accidentally stumble across my own answer.
So it has been with a .50 cal round I acquired a while back,what threw me a bit with this particular round was the TW 45 h/stamp.Purely by chance,I discovered this afternoon that this round is,in fact,a 50/30 Salvo Squeeze Bore,and what it's doing in such a case,I don't know.
All I have found out,so far,is that these rounds were used by US Navy river boats in Vietnam,and that they were not entirely successful.There were,also,several different types,and they may well have been used in other situations.
Regards Chris.
