Not a great picture I took, but see if you can identify the following ammo.

Clues:

1- Made in U.S.A.
2- Is a .38 is more powerful than a .357?
4- Not used in AH.
8- Not an aircraft round. Used to gruesome effect in Saving Private Ryan.
10 and 11 - Used in AH, but not on a plane...yet.

I managed to ID one piece of Ammo...

...they are called bricks (the ones stacked in the background).
Used mainly in Riots I believe...

I don't know exactly what # 12 is, but I believe I've seen it before in a picture involving Fatty's mom.

Very good Pongo, you just missed #5 which Crabofix is correct on.

Bonus Question: On what production aircraft in squadron service was #4 used?

Ghosth · « **Reply #12 on:** October 18, 2002, 01:44:55 PM »

1: 7.62 = US .308
2: Agree with pongo, MG-131/13
3: .50 cal MG
4: go along with pongo & crabofix
5-8 = 20mm guessing that
5: = LW
6: = Russian ShVak?
7: = Hispano
8:= 20 mm AA gun
9: 30mm ?
10: 37 mm PT boat/osty? But Yak9t has 37mm so????
11:37mm HE?
12: 40mm PT pos 6.
