So I tripped over a couple of these at the range last week. HUGE brass. Looked like a little mortar tube...so I made one :D Paper cannister shell with about 2G Vitamin F. It’s fun to still play around a little :{)

Have a vid? It would be fun to see.

 

Kinda waiting on a window of opportunity. It’s not as easy to test stuff for me any more. But yeah..I’ll get a vid. It’s killing me not to pop it right now :D

Looks like the 50 cal. we used to sight in a 105 recoilless.

 

It’s a BIG round... I guess they make AR machines for it too. Longer than a Long Colt. Hefty too. Never seen a hot one but I bet you don’t wanna drop it on a toe :D

Well,she’s had a few rounds run thru her. I had polystyrene’d a base on her... notice the deflection in the .125 inch thick aluminum bar. Girl gotta kick :D

 

Using some commercial 2” shell burst to launch... prolly pretty much flash, with some double base powder for flame/timing fuse reliability.Crap..I can’t weigh it...I don’t think my triple beam is accurate enough :D It’s not much lift!
