150 mm V3
- Thread starter FZG76
- Start date
The Gr4481 has fixed stabilizers so the pictures in post 1 are not correct.
I am not sure the V3 would use a concrete piercing shell, since at close to max ranges it would be quite difficult to hit a point target like a bunker.
So the photo in post 4 realy looks more like a röchling projectile. They came as small as 5cm if I am correct.
For further info please see Waffenrevue No.72.

I've seen your Röchling on FB earlier. The diameter makes me curious. The diameter of the 21cm's sabot (according to GuardianAngel's post on wk2ammo.com many years ago) is 116mm while the 34/35cm's is 220mm. You measured 155mm. This brings up the question about the caliber of the shell. 28cm?
