1" caliber round What is it?

Sergio Natali · 09-12-2015, 08:25 AM

A friend of mine asked me if I could find any info about this round: made of steel, not magnetic: Caliber 1" lenght 2.60 inches
The bands are a bit larger in diameter than the slug, possibly for engaging the rifling, is it a type of anti-armor round?
I thought it belonged to an Apache Helicopter M230E1 Chain Gun, then I realized that if I'm not wrong Apache's has got only 30mm caliber chain gun.

I enclose a couple of pictures that I've just taken.

Thanks in advance!
