ID the unusual 20mm

[Eodtek]

Since it's always fun to see who can figure things out, here is an unusual one that not many have seen.

 

[HAZORD]

Your ruler seems to be a bit short. 20mm X 180R

Tony has a paragraph about it here:

Yes we only have short rulers here. It makes us feel more manly when we measure things bigger than that

Any idea what the cartridge goes to?

 

[TonyE]

20mm

It is a round for the Swedish 20mm recoiless rifle. When fired the plastic disc at the base blows out.

A nice scarce round.

Ed: Should have read previous post!

I've had this for quite a while with no idea what to do with it.

I am attaching a copy of the page from the Swedish ammunition manual on the 20mm anti-tank series. The slpprj m/42 is the most common loading, if you want to call any of them common. I have never even see the HE or practice versions, but I am sure someone has them in their collection.

Got this in the mail today. It is now THE coolest 20MM in my lot. Had never seen one. Didn't know about it.

Found this video in researching it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeFlsEqkSHo
And this one: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7fb_1298045270

Hopefully, everybody can "see" at least one of them.

So, here's my Norma Projektilfabrik Amotfors 20MM M42 AP



The projectile is 52MM from base of band to the pointy end.
