INERT DEACTIVATED. British, WW2, 1943 Dated, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-Tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) Round With Fuse. Sn - 21200 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) 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 most of its original black painted finish and has a yellow, blue, back, blue and yellow bands round the body of the explosive head. The black band has stencilled on it in white 808. The PIAT is complete with its original alloy nose fuse and screw on fuse holder. The PIAT round also has attached to the fin assembly its original 3 piece alloy fuze holder and spring clip assembly. The alloy impact fuze is held in by a bayonet fitting cap that engages onto 2 lugs at the tip of the projectile. The PIAT has its original hollow charge nose cone which is held on by a screw on pressed steel collar. The hollow charge cone at the top of the projectile retains most of its original black painted finish and has a ring or red crosses and dots round it signifying an explosive filling. The cone retains its original felt sealing ring under the screw in collar. The fin assembly has a round makers monogram and 1 43 (January 1943 date). 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 21200 £595.00 |
