EOD - bombs and bullets
Lucked onto this round, one I don't have, last week.
It is a 25x193R round for the French 25mm Hotchkiss AT gun, which was captured in large numbers and pressed into use by the German as the 2,5 cm PaK 112(f).
By 1941 it wasn't really effective on most main battle tanks, but was still deadly to soft skin vehicles and older tanks....better than spitballs.
I received the round sans paint. I have seen a few live TP-T rounds, and they had a unique apple green tip and case seal which I like. The standard AP is just plain black tipped.
I painted this up as the green tipped TP-T...
Here are some pics, including one sandwiched between a US 57mm Recoiless, and a the German produced round for the Russian M39 Bofors 37mm AA gun. Also a pic of an original TP-T round, paint matches up pretty good...
Rumor has it some guy here is going to own one of these sweet little guns...lucky bastard.
