30mm cannon cartridges
« on: April 26, 2008, 08:31:20 PM »
I have posted a new article on my website to add to my series on collecting cannon cartridges, here: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/30mm%20cannon.htm

The photo below shows the five different 30mm cartridges which were used in aircraft guns in WW2:

Good stuff Tony. :aok That 30x184B rd looks brutal. What kind of muzzle velocity? Is that belted?

I think the x184b is what we'd get with the MK103, if we got an Me410.

Hmm? I don't know of any Me410s with MK103s. Only the U4 with BK5.


Nice article Tony!
