heh

Case type Rimless, bottleneck

Shoulder diameter 38 mm
Base diameter 42 mm
Rim diameter 42 mm
Rim thickness 5mm mm

Overall length 170 mm
Case capacity irrelevant (don't have the formulas to calculate, soz)

Not bad. But my case fires scaled up 7.5 Swiss bullets. Also, it has a linage dating back to the 1910's.

[Yukonastan]

Mine actually has a physical mockup of it.

TAKE THAT!

But can it into remove kebab at a range of four kilometres from the muzzle?

Only if you cover the shipping costs.

Depends on the model of ballista used to launch it.

Shorter case, fatter bullet, fits into .50" ammo can, so I believe it's fine.

But is it grotesquely over sized and basically a scaled up rifle bullet? Also, is it solid shot? As in no HE inside. Just lead.

At six hundred rounds per minute? I think I've got you beat, my friend. Although, if that minor issue were fixed on your part, 10/10 would remove kebab with.

It's basically a scaled up M43, does that count?

As for the bullet, the training munition is a frangible solid.

Was it originally designed to cut down cavalry? Mine was.

Alright, you get that one.

But do you into dU HVAP loadings?

Well the round is ancient. But there are modern AP variants that are loaded with APDS. But I don't use DU, only Wolfram.

You lose nothing and gain everything by switching to depleted uranium, including radiation poisoning of people hit by shards of the shattered penetrators after they do their job. Does your tungsten do that?

Purpelia does not use DU in general. There is quite literally no use of the stuff anywhere in my army.

Have you experimented with it, or with osmium penetrators?

Edit: Hassium. Theorized to have a density of 41 g/ml. Imagine if we got a stable isotope or something of that as our tank penetrators.

Seriously, I leave my computer for a few minutes and you two and still fickening & dickening about this concept?

I have a solution for this, and a good one. Take this, lengthen it a tad, fill it with a mixture of RDX and Radium/pickyourisotope and give it an impact fuse, pop said cartridge into your HMG/HGPMG and call it a day. Warcrimes & heavy-ass-bullets = fun for the whole fucking family.

[Fordorsia]

Do these measurements seem reasonable? I don't into proportions much so I'd like to make sure.

I've done that; but better. I've used bullshitium, with a critical mass of 500 grains. Shape that into an egg, fire bullet at target, impact fuze compresses egg into ball, and one haveth a micronuke. If that isn't a war crime then I don't know what is.

What the fuck is happening

General purpose cartridges for those of us who consider anti-aircraft autocannons to be infantry weapons. Ways to make 'em deadlier slash one-upping one another.

Silly newfriend. RDX is used for propellent not projectiles.

I thought that that was PETN or Semtex?

Fine, fucking fine; just use some re-purposed mining explosives and be a cheapskate.
