    AP and HE difference

    Hello. I know that there is a difference between the HE rounds of a 88 FLAK 18 and a 88 KWK. The 88 FLAK 18 round has a flat base projectile and the KWK has a tapered or boatail base. Is there a diffrence in the AP projectile?
    Any info would be appreciated!

    The HE, or spreng shell for the FLAK18 is the same as for the KWK 36, for the KWK 43 this is the boat shaped shell, with larger driving bands.
    For the FLAK 41, the HE has the boat tail.

    The AP, or Pzrgr 39 for the FLAK 36 and KWK36 are the same. The Pzrg 39/43 for the KWK43 is the same, only equiped with larger (wider) driving bands.

    For the FLAK 41, i have to look this up, do not know if they used the PZRG39/43 too.

      Thanks Dutchknive! That helps a lot. Now if I can find one of each of these that would be great!
