Here is a fully operational one that you can shoot out in West Texas.
I drove a Leopard 1A4 tank out there 3 days ago. Experience of a lifetime!

Re: 2.5cm Pak. 113(f)
Hi,
In the Festung Guernsey volumes there are 3 types of ammunition shown for the 2.5cm Pak (f). Two are standard Pzgr (one with tracer) but the third is a 6.6cm Schießb.Pzgr. Anybody know what this is and what it looks like?
Regards,
Malcolm

Sounds like a 6,6 cm Schießbecher-Panzergranate HL; A HEAT shell to be launched from a cup launcher. A cup launcher was projected for the 2 cm Flak 38; https://www.yumpu.com/de/document/read/ ... cm-hlgr-43 but have never heard of a version for the French 2,5 cm; A Stielgranate was reportedly developed but a Schießb.Pzgr. (let alone in use) is news to me.

"6,6 cm Schießbecher Pzgr. 2,5 cm Pak 112 u. 113 (f)" mentioned in "Merkbl. 22/6; Merkblatt über die feldmäßige Lagerung und Unterbringung von Munition in Munitionslagern".
"2,5-cm-Pak (Hotchkiss) und 3,7-cm-Pak" mentioned under "4. Sonstige Waffen zum Verschuß von Gewehrgranaten" in the table of contents of "Deutsche Gewehrgranaten und Gewehrgranatgeräte bis 1945" by Michael Heidler.
"5.1. 6,6 cm Schießbecher für die 2 cm Flak 30 und 2 cm Flak 38, für die 2,5 cm Pak Hotchkiss sowie die 3,7 cm Pak" mentioned under "5. Deutsche Projekte zur Panzer-Nahbekämpfung" in the table of contents of "25 mm Hotchkiss-Waffen und ihre Munition" by Jost-Burkhard Heinrich Anderhub.
The version for 2,5 cm & 3,7 cm Pak reportedly penetrated 110 mm of armour at 60 deg impact angle. Maximum engagement range 300 m.
