A couple of 20mm projectiles

[Shell Shifter]

Picked these up in Gettysberg whuilst waiting for my power to be restored after the hurricane.
One looks like your normal 22mm, the other looks like it should have a nose cone like you see with the larger projectiles. A new one on me. I am sure someone knows what the story is.

Hi Shell Shifter,
It looks very much like a 20mm APC round to me, are there any stampings on the driving band ? I would agree that the lower one is one in the same without the cap and band. I picked up a similar one that is a WW2 dated experimental round, picture attached.
I would be interested to see some more info on this posted if anyone can help, thanks for showing it.
Best regards Weasel.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for posting that picture, I must have missed that one when it was previously posted, that is just what I was looking for. Best regards Weasel.

Do you think that there is a non-destructive way to get the windscreen off the intact one?

 

[kahu1]

You've got a 'before and after' example,i'd leave as they are.
Most likely will get distortion if you can work the cover off.
Or you could 1/3 or 1/2 section,this pic of a similar projectile 1/3 sectioned.



cheers
