Any Ideas Help needed

[Richard709]

Can anyone identify what these are,



the cut one is 22.57mm dia and the RH one is 23.56 top half, 22.6 on the narrow end and 28mm long. I think they are some kind of Blank, noise simulator for a shot gun or mine? for use in training. Markings on the large cut case is ?? Z LOT ? 4?, (?? Z LOT 2 43). The whole one has no marking at all. The drill round is a 5.56 for size comparison.

I believe them to be PIAT Cartridges - http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/62882-PIAT-Cartridge
(mine is not to hand to measure)

the cartridge is located at the top of the tail tube on the PIAT bomb,when fired the spigot rod strikes this cartridge which creates a rocket effect in the tube and propels the bomb.
