INERT DEACTIVATED. British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) DRILL Round With Fuse, Fuse Holder And Firing Cartridge. - A 1740 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) DRILL round. The round is complete with its original nose fuse and safety cap. The PIAT was designed in response to the British Army's need for a more effective hand-held infantry anti-tank weapon. It consisted of a steel tube, a trigger mechanism and firing spring, and was based on the spigot mortar system and instead of using a propellant to directly fire a round; the spring was cocked and tightened. When the trigger was pulled, it released the spring that pushed the spigot forward into the rear of the bomb. This detonated the cartridge in the base of the bomb, was then thrown forward off the spigot and if lucky re cocked the weapon for firing again. The PIAT possessed an effective range of approximately 100 yards. This system meant that the PIAT had several advantages, which included a lack of muzzle smoke to reveal the position of the user, the ability to fire it from inside buildings. The PIAT entered service in 1943, and was first used during the Allied invasion of Sicily that year; it remained in use with British and Commonwealth forces until the early 1950s. The PIAT replaced the .303 Boys anti-tank rifle which was adopted in 1937 and soon proved itself unable to defeating heavy armour. As well as being used in the anti-tank role, the PIAT was an effective way of opening doors on buildings at a safer distance and the resulting explosion was usually enough to subdue opposition in the building. This projectile retains most of its original black painted finish and is stencilled in white DRILL on opposite sides of its circumference. The PIAT is fitted with its original and correct warhead securing ring and is stencilled in white round its circumference FOR DRILL AND PRACTICE INERT BOMB ONLY. The correct alloy drill nose fuse is held in by a bayonet fitting securing ring. The body has a reinforced spigot without any cutaways allowing the PIAT to be reused several times. The body retains its original plaster weighted core. The price for this scarce round includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 1740 £395.00 |

This is a rare first pattern German WW1 high explosive fragmentation Granatenwerfer 16 that was nicknamed the pigeon. The weapon was first introduced into the Austrian army in 1915 and adopted in a modified version by the Germans in 1916 as the Granatenwerfer 16. The small size of the trench mortor made it easily transportable giving indirect fire in the trenches. The Granatenwerfer is a type of spigot mortar where the hollow tail of the mortar fits over the spigot of the launcher. Ammunition came in various forms including smoke, high-explosive, illumination, and propaganda mortars. This is a first pattern with a conical segmented projectile as opposed to the later parallel sided one, high explosive fragmentation mortar with a segmented body. The fin assembly of the mortar consists of a turned steel tube with three sets of thin pressed steel fins riveted to it. Later Granatenwerfers had 4 fins. The nose has a small brass impact fuse screwed into it. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this mortar in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display.
