Special, rare. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info 12.7 mm anti-materiel rifles that have just begun to appear today are equipped with specially developed tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, and the armor-piercing power is no worse than this old antique, but the purpose of development and the use of the target are different, not all the way.

Anti-tank guns, to own is happiness.

Originally, it was estimated that the whole world could not come up with a single intact, serviceable Type 97 20mm automatic gun, and half a century ago was the era when anti-tank guns were booming, this kind of weapon, which has now been completely swept into the dustbin of history, is precisely the treasure that some weapons collectors dream of.

The collection of old weapons is not about money, but more about the scarcity of the collection, and if it is money, a hundred meters away from here, a few gold bricks are worth more than this thing.

The meaning is different, what you play is that others don't have it and I do. This will play this collector has a Finnish-made L39 20mm anti-tank gun is already considered a very bullish, Type 97?

Direct Cattle Explosion!

Randy unloads the automaton from the large magazine, which is empty. At this time, Zhang Nan found that the automatic cannon was actually a tripod - two short but strong tripods in front, and a short tripod behind the small grip.

"Where's the cannonball?"

As soon as Zhang Nan asked, Randy immediately ran back to the warehouse and directly moved a wooden box over.

It's not light, it's estimated that there are twenty or thirty pounds.

As soon as it was opened, there were neat, dense rows of orange-red paper tubes, each about 20 centimeters long - special 20 mm shells were expensive, and the packaging was single-shot shells divided by paper tubes.

The American bodyguard couldn't recognize what was written on it, but Zhang Nanquan knew: the paper tube was completely marked with Chinese characters, and there was no Japanese kana.

"Type 97 automatic cannon ammunition, Type 100 tracer armor cartridge, April 18 of Showa, made by the 3rd Manufacturing Institute of the First Army Arsenal in Tokyo. ”

Armor-piercing bullets, the name of the little devil's armor-piercing bullets: all traditional characters, clearly marked.

Randy listened to Zhang Nan's translation and said, "There are still many boxes inside, and the length of the paper tube is different, so there should be different types of ammunition." ”

As he spoke, Randy pulled out the cannonball from one of the paper tubes in the box.

Brass shell, streamlined black armor-piercing warhead with a green and white ribbon in the middle of the warhead's cylindrical part.

"Boss, this is the best armor-piercing warhead of the Japanese army at that time......"

Randy clearly understands the imp's automatic cannon, and this is clear: like their strange three 7.7mm machine and rifle bullets that cannot be used universally, there are actually three types of warhead materials for the Type 100 armor-piercing tracer bullet.

The first type is made of softer, cheaper ordinary steel, and the surface of the warhead is all black, except for the cartridge belt and white lettering:

The second type is medium-hard steel warheads, which have a certain armor-piercing ability, but their performance is not as good as that of standard armor-piercing bullets. The warhead is also black, with a green identification ribbon in the middle of the cylinder of the warhead body, and the warhead body is also printed in white;

The third type is hard steel warheads, which are made of better alloy steel and have been heat-treated, with the best armor-piercing ability. In the middle of the cylindrical part of the warhead, there is a circle of green and white ribbons connected together, of which the green ribbon is at the top, and the surface of the warhead body is printed with white paint with the words "100 type" and so on.

The first type of ammunition is mainly used for shooting training, and the latter two types are used for combat, with medium and hard steel warheads for general civil engineering and fortifications, and the most expensive and cumbersome standard armor-piercing bullets for targets such as tanks and armored vehicles.

"Little devil, stingy!"

Whether it's careful planning or stinginess, I don't know if the ammunition will be mixed up in the chaos?

Chen Hao carefully looked at a few shells, "The preservation is very good, it should still be usable." ”

Eighteen years of Showa, that is, 43 years of manufacturing, this is 45 years. The tunnel is relatively dry, and the crates are solid and well sealed, and there are no gaps.

Coupled with the fact that they are protected by a sealed cardboard tube, these shells are completely free of oxidation, just like when they were newly created.

A group of people went into the warehouse to inspect and found a total of 25 boxes of artillery shells, of which 18 were Type 100 high-explosive self-explosive tracer grenades.

A box of 35 shells, almost all full, about 700 rounds of shells.

There are 16 magazines for 7 rounds, 6 magazines for 15 rounds, and the internal springs are still elastic, so they should still work.

Tracer armor-piercing bullet Zhang Nan can play with it, this 00-type high-explosive self-explosive tracer grenade can't be played with in his hand at will - this thing will explode if you knock it with a hammer!

There are no Type 97 armor-piercing tracer shells and Type 98 high-explosive tracer grenades used in the early days of the Type 97 automatic gun, but those two types of ammunition participated in the Battle of Nomenhan.

However, because of the wide field of view of the grassland terrain, although the armor thickness of the Soviet BT-5/BT-7 tank is only 10~15 mm, in the face of the overwhelming artillery superiority of the Soviet army, the little devil shooter has no chance to fire within the effective range of the Type 97 automatic gun.

It was used in the wrong place in Normenhan, and when it came to the Pacific region to participate in the island war, this monster weapon was of little use - the general thickness of the armor of the Americans' tanks was too thick for it, and in the end most of it was reduced to anti-aircraft weapons.

A total of three doors were found in the warehouse, all of which were sealed with butter and wrapped in canvas, one of which was a fully automatic modified anti-aircraft model with an anti-aircraft tripod, and the six 15-round box magazines were equipped for anti-aircraft modifications.

Automatic cannons are good toys, and those shells are just as valuable.

"This is a long time since this type of shell can still be used, boss, you can save some use. ”

Hearing Randy's words, Xiang Weirong said to Randy: "When the time comes, all of them will be disassembled and overhauled, and then you will come for a test shot." ”

"No problem!"

At this time, Thomas interjected: "No problem, Mr. Xiang is ridiculing you." Test the shooting table and try the long-range control first, so as not to blow you into a sack and cause the boss to pay a pension. ”

Randy smiled, he had to listen to Thomas.

Zhang Nan also agrees with this opinion: Although it is not strange to know that in the past 20 years or so, in various chaotic wars, ammunition produced 30 or 40 years ago, or even 50 or 60 years ago, must be guarded against.

The explosion of 20mm shells is not a game, the shooter is absolutely dead!

Zhang Nan said: "I don't think the airport in Baguio is not safe at all, so when the time comes, I will bring one back first, and then get a few boxes of shells to try." There are also a lot of small arms of the Japanese army here, if you like it, pick a little, get it back together, and it will be a good toy when the time comes. ”
