25mm AAI Rounds
- Thread starter EODGUY

25x137mm Oerlikon
Some of my 25mm grouping. I find the XM793 in picture no. 4 interesting in that it is fully stencilled on the projectile and case, yet the projectile is not painted. My assumption is that since it carries the XM number it was loaded for in-house developmental use only.
The projectile to the right of photo number 5 is a ring-airfoil design. Unfortunately I do not have the rear cove disc. The two purple projectiles in photo number 6 are high pressure test rounds. There are a lot of other variations around as you know.
