Huntndogs 114 Posted May 7, 2019 Shell casing looks like a .50 cal machine gun round the other looks to me like a 20mm cannon round. These are Depleted Uranium and will make you sterile...hahaha J/K on the Sterile part. I have no idea what that bullet is but some do have an explosive in them...Should use caution handling these.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_mm_caliber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking these are of a few generations prior to those fancy-pants guns in the video. And yes, the live round was drilled through the middle of the projectile. They were pretty close in diameter, and there were many belt clips lying (laying?) around. I got to wondering if the shorty was used as a tracer periodically in the belt and the longer shell was the "real" bullet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted May 9, 2019 I showed the images of the ammunition to a friend who knows about such things. He asked a friend of his who knows more about such things and the 411 is: .50 BMG from the Milwaukee Ordnance Plant in 1943, and a random 20mm likely fired from a multi-barrel something-or-other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
