    With so many examples dotted throughout this sub-forum, I thought it might be worth trying to collect a few together into one thread. This field has so many examples to offer, from the solid lumps to sophisticated darts, so hopefully we can draw together a good variety.

    I'll kick it off with some of mine:

    WW2 German 88mm, 75mm and 50mm
    WW2 Russian 122mm. 85mm, 76mm APCR
    Post-war Soviet T-55 APDS

    Thank you for your contributions so far Martin, some very nice examples.

    My 57mm M70 for comparison, yours needs some more rust...

    perhaps the next thread should be 'Drive Bands of the World'

    Good idea for a thread - let's hope some others can chip in.I find the development of WW2 tank-against-tank ammunition fascinating. The comparison between the 3.7cm & 8.8 KwK43 rounds in itself is amazing for such a short space of time.
