Dave,

Here are photos of the AAI round you wanted to see. The tip of the sabots are open, and the penetrator can be seen inside. The round next to it is the same shape, fired case and unfired projo. It has something protruding from the primer hole, that is holding it up. It has no headstamp.

Thanks John, I didn't realise they had tested an AP version, very interesting.
Does the TP come out of the case - if so any chance of a photo of that (don't worry it it won't come out easily). The 2 projectiles I have are in dummy cases and won't come out. I've also photographed the headstamp on the TP version plus inside to show how the primer is fixed in place.
Dave.

Digging up a bit of an old thread here, just thought I'd show a couple of photos of the 25mm apfsds I managed to track down (on the left in the photos). The belt is plastic and it flexes in both directions a bit like a ball and socket joint.

I've now got a spare case if anyone is interested please PM me.

All INERT.

Dave.
