20 Pdr case and projectiles
As promised BAR the 20Pdr APDS projectile with the smoke round and case with both fitted up I'm pretty lucky but won't deny the hours and hours spent trolling the net the APDS I found with only 17 hours left to go so I was not going to surf but decided on a whim too otherwise I would have missed it an 11:45pm whim I may add...:p
The DS seems to be a lighter material possibly aircraft grade aluminium whilst the penetrator is for its size very heavy I am not sure if it has a tungston core penetrator but doubt it being a training roundn perhaps someone can answer that one would imaging the sabot to fall away quickly and imparting the spin onto the business end.
WIKI had the performance of the 20Pdr APDS at 4,700Fps and able to penetrate 13" of RHA at 1000 yards making the gun a very effective tank killer in the day.
As usual 303 MkVII for scale the smoke round is unfired as can be seen the driving bands are intact and not engraved.
