917601 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 31, 2020 The casings were given to me by the crew for supporting an operation they conducted in Colombia, SA back in 2008. At the time, I was a DOS Colombian Army advisor. The 40mm HEI L60 projectiles took a long time to find as the L60s are WW2 era design, and still being specially manufactured. The L60 40mm, as opposed to the modern L70 , are still the most accurate and the 40mm cannon on board is WW2 dated, barrels, parts still being specially manufactured.
