INERT DEACTIVATED. British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) Mark III HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) Round With Fuze & Fuze Carrier with Securing Clip. Sn - 21833 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) Mark III HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) round. The round is complete with its original nose fuse. 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 much of its original green painted finish with a blue band near the nose with a narrow yellow line above and below it. The PIAT has its original hollow charge nose cone which is held on by a screw on pressed steel collar. The PIAT is complete with its original alloy fuze, 2 piece fuze carrier and the spring steel securing clip to retain the assembly to the tail fin assembly. The price for this 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. Sn 21883 £595.00 |

INERT DEACTIVATED. Complete, Falklands War Era, Inert Full Weight British WD & NATO Marked Drill Shorts Blowpipe (man-portable surface-to-air missile tube) With High Impact Carry Case & 1976 Dated Transit Case - O 1003 INERT DEACTIVATED. The Shorts Blowpipe is a man-portable surface-to-air missile that was in use with the British Army and Royal Marines from 1975. It was superseded by an interim design, Javelin, and later the Starstreak. The missile would be shipped as a single round in a storage cylinder/firing tube. The aiming unit would be clipped to the launch tube and fired from the operator's shoulder. To reduce the overall size of the container, the rear fins of the missile were stored in the larger diameter cylinder at the front of the tube (this also contained the Yagi antenna for transmitting guidance signals). During firing, the fins slipped onto the rear of the missile as it flies through and are held there by heat-activated adhesive tapes. This gives the launch container a unique shape, seemingly oversized at the front and extremely thin at the rear. Blowpipe were used by both sides during the Falklands War in 1982, with the targets being fast flying aircraft, flying low and using the ground to hide their approach. Blowpipe missiles were also used in the Afghanistan and Gulf War conflicts. This is a superb complete inert, purpose made, WD weighted drill Blowpipe firing tube, with carry and transit cases. The drill Blowpipe tube is weighted to replicate the weight of the live version when loaded with missile and cable. This would allow soldiers the opportunity to train in carrying a full size and weight inert version of the weapon and aiming (when guidance system attached). The tube is marked ‘C0036 DRILL‘ and is complete with its original green high impact plastic carry case with webbing shoulder and retaining straps and both are contained in its original green high impact transit case with removable lid and clasp fasteners. The transit case and carry case are profusely marked with stencilled British WD marks and NATO stores codes. A WD plate on the transit case is dated ‘1976 ‘ (illustrated inset in image 2 together with an image of a blowpipe missile in use in the field). The Blowpipe is accompanied by an MOD certificate dated 1988 certifying that the Blowpipe is inert and free from explosives. The blowpipe in its transit case measures 61”x12 ½”x 14”. Due to the size of the box, U.K. Mainland delivery is included. O 1003 £495.00 |

This is a British BL755 anti-tank and runway cratering hollow charge training bomblet. The weapon was used by the Royal Air Force in the Falklands, Bosnia and both Gulf Wars. The BL 755 bomblet was developed by Hunting aircraft and entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1973. The BL 755 was a hollow charge sub-munition with the weapons container weighed 600 pounds. The container held 147 of these sub munitions. The sub-munitions consisted of a small high explosive anti-tank warhead with a stabilizing coronet that flipped out on ejection to ensure they were facing forward when they impacted. The trigger was mounted on a spring that extended forward after launch to ensure the bomb fired at the right range from the armour or concrete runway surface. This is an unfired BL 755 bomblet body complete with its hollow charge cone and alloy fin holding tail assembly, arming vane, and the standoff assembly including the spring which allowed the bomb to explode approximately 4 inches off armour or a runway surface to enable the bomblet to penetrate and crater the runway surface. When the bomblet exploded, the segmented body left fragments on exploding adding to its anti-personal properties. This bomblet retains all of its original surface finish where the body is varnished brown with an orang 15mm rig near the hollow cone. The bomblet is stencilled in white INERT FFE (inert, free form explosive) which usually indicates a training round for bomb disposal.
