Any takers? :nukem:

[john.gear]

if only I had a few hundred bucks to spend:gun:

[dejawolf]

it's only a training round though.

For $600+ I want the real McCoy; propellant, tracer, functional primer, DU penetrator, etc.

Well Army doesn't even buy them for that.

Interesting fact(don't know if its just german law :-p): If you want to transport a Sabot-round in your car, make shure that at least one fin has been removed.

Sabot with all fins, gets you arrested for violation of arms-control-laws.

PS:@Tread Head57, If you can give me contact data of the manufacturer that offers 120mm sabot rounds a 600$ a piece...I'd be very interested to place an order for 2 or 3 thousand of 'em ;-)

(hey resale to any army will be quiet profitable 8-) )

PS PS: I'm pretty sure that even the US army does not "give away" even training ammo. Guess it "fell from some truck"

Something like that I guess,

Probably from a German US army base when they moved the M1s out.

They have stuff like that in the training suites.

"This is what a tank sized bullet looks like. But its principle role is as a cool looking door stop."

I guess they threw away the door first.

Typical Defence bureaucrat thinking. :luxhello:

Funny you should say that. Mate of mine has an 88 shell that he uses for that very purpose.

I didn't say $600 is the manufacture cost for a real DU round, it's just all I would be willing to pay for something that is, at best, a conversation peice unless you own a tank. If I'm going to blow $600, it's going to be on a new mil surplus rifle for my collection.

Depleted or not, I wouldn't want to have that thing anything near my living space or family if it has any relation to uranium.

Really?!

Back in the 20s, it was common to have huge ass radium suppositories! :c:

1st you'd have to give the seller his $600 and then ATFE all the paperwork plus another $200 for the tax stamp necessary to own a destructive device.

Currently its taking 6 to 9 months in the US just to get the tax stamp to own a sound suppressor. Probably longer to get a DD stamp.

Ugh, tell me about it. I toyed with the idea of getting a Class 3 liscence, but too hard to move around with one when active military. At least I got my C&R.

Its a training round, so it'd be made of plain steel.

(Cost effective, or so they say.)
