Daniel Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 have anybody seen this pic? (from pinterest) says A British 17 pdr round lodged in a block of armor from a Tiger I, which it failed to completely penetrate. 2

PmMeYourCats Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Would love to own one of them but they are so fake~ Still would make a bloody good desk ornament.
pylon1357 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 This reminds me of the 2 bullets that 'hit in mid-air'.

Hi Bry, My mate reckons these can be genuine as the projectile made from chilled-steel making it harder than the armour. You can see how the armour peels back where the proj smashed in.

PmMeYourCats Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Aye some of them are real I bet but it's one of those things that you see so often. Regardless of it's state I still want one.
Major General Waffenamt Posted February 16, 2016 Major General Posted February 16, 2016 The projectile ive pictured earlier is a belter. Comes from a world class collector pal. Wartime dated too. yum! If i was a 17 pounder collector then i would be chasing this.
Spaceinvader Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Love the 17pdr rounds. I got myself an APDS-T projectile but need a casing. Not an easy thing to find in Canada!
Major General Waffenamt Posted February 18, 2016 Major General Posted February 18, 2016 Keep looking mate,as you boys most certainly used them. I bet the shipping costs would be astronomical from Europe.
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Picture of the two bullets which collided in mid-air at Gallipoli.

It's a controversial pic, the right hand bullet is fired, the left hand one unfired. so it's likely the left jand round was in an ammo pouch when struck. 1

Never realised, and looking back it's clear to see. Thanks 2
