On or about 27 Dec 2003 19:04:58 -0800,
(Tony Williams) allegedly uttered:


They were interested in an AP for anti-tank purposes and a
tungsten-cored 20mm APCR was developed by Janecek (of Littlejohn
squeezebore fame). Penetration was spectacular (figures range from
45-65mm) but it seems there were ballistic problems and it was never
adopted. The USAAF had a plain steel AP shot, but AFAIK the RAF never
used one.

Tony, fascinating as always, but I have to ask - APCR? Armour Piercing
mumble mumble?

TIA
