Does anyone know what kind of bullet this is? My grandpa passed away and I'm digging through his WWII chest and found these. Along with two German pistols
>>

At a guess, a fired 50 BMG bullet. Might be something larger, depends on your hand size.
It could be a bullet from a AA gun or something, what nationality are you?
>>
>>30263303
American

Nice trigger discipline, dumbass.

Show close ups

And keep your fucking fingers off the triggers.

>>30263358
Show me a close up of that gun rack in the background

>>30263282
Looks kinda like a 20mm bullet.

Have you ever heard of trigger discipline?

Keep your booger hooks off of the bang switches, Rambo. Fucking fool.

>>30263399
Didnt take a close up, will later I'm on my way to my dad's right now to see how he's holding up
>>
>>30263358
Looks like two Lugers. Keep you nigget fingers off the triger, did you even check to see if they were loaded?
>Drop mag
>Rack the knobs

Google "Luger clearing" if if you can't figure it out.
>>
>>30263282
looks like its from an aerial canon, probably 20mm from an MG151
>>
>>30263388
>>30263402
>>30263413
I checked if they were loaded and I'm aimed at a wall anyway. Worse case scenarios I put a couple of holes in a deceased man's trailer
>>
>>30263282

Too big to be a .50 BMG. Looks like some type of 20mm projectile. Could be German, but I'm not sure.
>>
>>30263451
Hmmm was that used in ww2? Which side?

>>30263452
jesus christ don't justify your shitty fucking behavior you giant faggot

>>30263282
We recovered a round identical to the right one in Death Valley during a project, save that the tip is corroded. Its american and WW2 vintage, aircraft 20mm is not bad, though I heard someone say it was an AT round.

>>30263510

Why don't you calm down. If he cleared the gun properly he's fine.That is unless he always rests his fingers on the trigger when handling a gun.

Yeah sure, if he has little lady hands.
See pic for size comparison.

Okay, you got a pair of great pistols. If you aren't a shooter, get a nice glass display case like this: https://www.storesupply.com/pc-12032-496-24-x-36-x-4-natural-pine-portable-wood-display-case-22102.aspx?st-t=google_ppc_shopping_displaycases_12032&vt-pti={adwords_producttargetid}&gclid=Cj0KEQjws_m6BRCv37WbtNmJs-IBEiQAWKKt0MkEkbeJfADjZaP3-iALAMip9EqMxlZ6nzwNU6bXet8aAj-m8P8HAQ

And lay some nice fabric like a replica German camo uniform on it and keep the fuckers. They are very rare, even for captured German pistols as the German P38 was more common issue. Keep them in the family.

Will definitely do, although I'm pretty sure my dad will be taking it all. I didn't even know he had these until today

Just make sure your dad doesn't do anything dumb like sell them to a pawn store for 1/8th of their value. P08s were being phased out by the Germans in WW2 for the P38, Browning hi powers or even M1911s. I doubt you could get the exact story about them, but they are likely captured from surrendering or dead German officers who were issued them at the start of their career.
>>
>>30263800
I'm gonna ask if he'll let keep them or at least one
>>
>>30263358
close up of pistol farthest away from camera?

Looks like it might be a Lahti?
>>
>>30263358
those look the the shitty erma .22lr lugers
>>
>>30263303

50 BMG? Your cock must be 18" long too, if you don't know what a 1/2" looks like.

>>30263685
>doesn't ask for closer pics
>doesn't even ask about markings
>assumes genuine and of high value
why do you tripfag? is it so that people can easily identify and know to avoid your posts?

>>30263358
I have that exact shirt.

I'm thinkin 20mm

20mm by the looks of it, definitely bigger than a .50 going off the size of the Mk. 2.
