Now that's some ammo

  1. Dummy ammo? 3rd round from the right looks drilled and primers appear dimpled.

  2. Electrically primed? (Which is to say, fired by passing an electrical current through the primer, rather than dimpling it with a firing pin.)

  3. Range practice at the NTC. Califrutopia has a 15-round limit.

  5. Definitely 20mm. NOT dummy rounds. The dummy rounds have a bolt instead of a primer with the hole for the Allen wrench filled with epoxy. I just looked at the one on my workbench to verify. It looks much different. I used to be QA Manager for a contractor that made them foe the DoD. They gave all of their employees one of them that was being scrapped for not fitting the chamber gauge. Yes, some 20mm rounds are electrically primed.

  6. Russian, 30MM 3UOR6 ammo for the 2A42 autocannon. Looks like a BMD-2 turret being loaded.
