Hey Joe,

Joe,

Are there any other 2.75 inch warheads that you need photos of?

 

[Lou]

Friggin gives me the shivers every time I see those photos,,,,,

Hey wait,theres one that doesnt belong,,,,,

 

[HAZORD]

Ah, but it does belong, at least the Ogive and lucky.

The attached photo shows a different view of the HEAT warhead lower body for the 2.75 inch rocket, that uses the nose/ogive with piezo from a LAW rocket, and the lower half of an M229 17 Lb. HE warhead. I need to put the LAW ogive on the body of the warhead in this photo, to renovate the complete warhead, which was missing the ogive when I got it.

That is a sweet inert warhead.
And I believe thats the largest load Ive ever seen behind a copper cone.
