There are some really interesting ammo in there. They seem to be 15cm howitzer ammo. The ones with the clear Nb labeling are smoke, but the most interesting one out of all of them was the "FES" labeled ammunition. It was used in conjunction with a rocket assisted round to fly a lot further then normal shells.

@herrhaber9076 2 жыл бұрын

@@azwris I'm not certain iron & steel are of better qualities nowadays. We probably have a better or more suited range for a lot of applications though. One sure thing though, is that the steel used for ammo was top quality. When chemically restauring rusted parts you get to see the microstructure of the steel and well... I'm not a material engineer but the steel from a simple 20mm is quite interesting compared to say a steel pipe. But like you, I'm more impressed by the accessories than the shells themselves. 75 year old wood cases that look as if they were made yesterday is always amazing :)

@martinrolecek8837 2 жыл бұрын

Those ones were fairly safe to handle. Nonetheless they show high disregard for safety while handling explosives and ammunition in all of their videos. Prime example in this one, is him shaking the smoke shell out of casing while his face was directly above the front of projectile. If that gone of he'll be permanently blind in best case scenario, missing his head in worst.

it is more expensive if they blow up on transport. Yes, these transport riggs had been and are still standard not only in our German army. These artillery amo had been transportet thousands of miles from Germany by train, horse wagons (most transport in the eastern theatre had been done with horse waggons) and lorries and that had been a very bumpy business. Without these riggs/boxes everything would have blown up.
