2 pounder ammunition
Hi Guys:
We may need to get an expert's opinion here. John Carlin is probably the world's foremost ammunition collector and ordnance historian (jjcarlin@lineone.net).
I'll send him a summary of our thread/string and ask his opinion on 2 pounder HE rounds.
Cheers! Mike
P.S. I wouldn't want to do an anti-tank engagement with the 2 pounder's wheels down: no spade to stop recoil, crappy traverse with the guy on the handspike controlling the traverse not the gunner (real hard to track a moving target that way) and poor likelihood of a target round first shot. Yikes!
