Hi does anyone have any pictures/cutaways and info on these shells i'm awaiting one I picked up cheaply lately.
I heard that they had negligible amounts of tear gas in the projectiles to make the occupants of the vehicle on the receiving end bail out is this true??
Also how effective were they compared to other anti tank rifles of the time in armour penetration etc anyone got any performance charts.
Cheers DAZ

..So can anyone confirm the tear gas theory??
I can't imagine there would be enough tear gas in a single round to do the job????

If its in one of the drawings, I missed it..sry

I'd be 99% sure that "Tear" gas would be unecessary as a very hot steel core entering armour would be deadly for the occupants without any added "Gas" as the "spall" from the armour on the inside would also have a devastating effect.
