Original Items: Only One Available. This is a lovely inert 20mm round for the MG 151/20 aircraft auto-cannon, as used by the Luftwaffe during WWII. It comes with a belt link that has a little bit of battle damage so it doesn’t fit into the link very well, but it looks great for display. It is completely void of any explosive content and is not able to be used as an explosive device. The round is in compliance with the current BATF standards on inert ordnance.
Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.
The MG 151 (MG 151/15) was a German 15 mm aircraft-mounted autocannon produced by Waffenfabrik Mauser during World War II. Its 20mm variant, the 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon, was widely used on German Luftwaffe fighters, night fighters, fighter-bombers, bombers and ground-attack aircraft. Salvaged guns saw post-war use by other nations.
The autocannon used a wide variety of ammunition types depending on the type of airplane it was being used in, as well as whether they were used in night or day operations. The round with the yellow projectile is most likely High Explosive, while the blue should be incendiary, and the black round without a fuze is armor piercing with an incendiary effect. Each round measures approximately 5 3/4 inches in length.
This round has a small green band, a large yellow band, and a small reddish band, denoting is as a “2 cm Sprgr. L'spur m. Zerl.”, or 2 cm high explosive projectile (Sprgr. - Sprenggranat) with a tracer (L'spur - Lichtspur) and self-destructor (m. Zerl. - mit Zerleger). This would denote a round meant for area damage during night fighting. Very interesting!
A great well-worn round, ready for further research and display.
