Yep that's the one, when you blow it it makes loads of noise still even after nearly 100 years.

Over to you Mike.

Thanks Norman & Dave , that's the fellow . I had a complete one years ago & somehow remembered what it was ! Anyhow , here's my contribution .

 

[siegfreid]

Here's more of the item . I'm sure some of the ex or present EOD members MUST recognise one of these ! Hint , it's post WW2 British.

 

[Buster]

Barmine fuze?

 

[siegfreid]

Buster . Well done , I knew I could rely on an ordnance approved member . Over to you.

[Buster]

[SG500]

20 x 162 Fliegerfaust

 

[Buster]

Correct, over to you.

 

[glevum]

I'm a bit confused here guys.

I thought the Fliegerfaust projectile was short and had 4 spring fins on it.
What is the above picture of? Is it the projectile in a case.

But the bottom of the case looks like it has nozzles in it. Does the whole round leave the launcher and then separate in flight?
