INERT. This is a Swiss made 20mm (20 x 139) KAD (HS820A) cannon DRILL round for the Rheinmatall Mk20 Rh-202 auto canon that was designed by Rheinmetall from the Hispano-Sueza Hs 820 and Hs 820A. The cannon is used on German military vehicles, including the Marder infantry fighting vehicle, the Spähpanzer Luchs and some variants of the Wiesel AWC. It is also used in the Argentinian VCTP, an IFV based on the TAM chassis. This gun fires the 20×139mm ammunition originally developed for the Hispano-Suiza HS.820. A towed twin mount antiaircraft version was produced and used by Argentina in the Falklands War. This round was made by Oerlikon in 1980 and consists of a grey lacquered steel cartridge case which is headstamped HS 10 DN OE (Oerlikon) 80 (1980 date). The round is fitted with a brass screw in percussion primer which is stamped DN-03. The steel projectile has a iron driving band and retains most of its original blue painted finish (signifying an inert practice projectile) and is stencilled in white round its circumference DP (Drill Practice) ?68M 48. See page 46-47, Janes Ammunition Handbook, 1st Edition 1993 – 4. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess his inert round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 1950
