3,7cm BK Hartkern round for Stuka

[jiipee76]

Here is my 3,7cm Bordkanone round with 3,7cm Hartkern/Tungsten core projectile.My friend machined me new "magnesium" ballistic hat out of aluminium.

Nasty round for airplane.No wonder Rudel scored big amounts of tanks with this guntype.Even heavy ones like KV-1 had weak points were these found their way inside.

Here is picture without the ballistic cap.Tungsten core heated up and turned to white while going trough armor plate.Once it got trough the armor,core exploded inside and shrapnels destroyed ammunition inside and poor tank crew.
