Cool

I can see that I'm going to have to post a question quick to stop you all getting a fit of the giggles.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

OK, right at war's end, with raw materials running seriously low, the Germans devised a solid steel bullet with driving bands halfway along the projectile to prevent it contacting the bore-wall and wearing away the rifling. The war ended before trials could be completed so it never went into 'action'.

What was the bullet called ( the name, not the number )....??
