Hi,
Is a 20mm hispano bullet can be fix on a 20 mm oerlikon shell and be fired without problem ?
and vice versa ? 20 mm oerlikon bullet fired with 20mm hisp. ? Can we switch bullet between oerlikon and hispano ?

Is a 20mm H E / tracer bullet can be pulled from a live rnds witout problem ?

I'm new in 20mm ammo, I read many a many pages of info but sometimes it's hard to digest all info...

thank you
 
hello
the belt on the 20mm oerlikon are little thicker than 20mm hispano
i think the projectiles cannot be inverted

live 20mm HE cannot be pulled without risk ,the only way is the demilling factory where the security is maximum
 
Bonjour Ammogun,
moi aussi je crois que nous ne pous vous pas échanger les "links" entre le 20mm hispano et le oerlikon.

Is a 20mm oerlikon bullet can be installed on 20mm hispano ?
is 20mm bullet are "standard" "polyvalent ?

Ammogun, is it what you mean when you said "cannot be inverted" ?
 
Louis,

Two answers:
No ...Oerlikon and Hispano projectiles are not interchangeable.

No... the live HE/T projectile CANNOT safely be pulled!!!

B.t.w. in this forum one is not allowed to discuss RSP's / deconstruction of live ammunition or parts thereof.

Regards,

Menno
