I was talking with my Thursday Night War Game buddies about the incident involving the M-18 owned by Steve Preston. Since I'm the resident tanker they were asking me about what I thought happened. During the discussion, we were talking about what kind of ammo they would have been using.
That got me to wondering, what kind of ammo would they have been using?
Surplus ammo? US? Foreign?
Reloaded ammo? If so, what would the propellant be? Primer? Projectile?
I figured it would be easy for a machine shop to fabricate a 76mm projectile, but what would you use for the rest?
That brought me to think about the balistics of such a round. Would you get close enough to a service round to be able to use the AP or HE reticle in the sight?
BTW, hello.
