    Default Got Christmas Ammo, Only 3 rounds?

    My wife is quite into my hobby and knows I always want more ammo.
    Imagine my surprise when I opened up some of the boxes under the tree?
    I put a WWII 1911 pistol in the picture for size perspective.
    The first round is a WWII M11A3 rifle grenade fired from a Garand or 1903 rifle.
    The second is a Kinetic Energy Penetrator that is the main projectile in a 105mm sabot anti tank round.
    The third item is a WWII 3.5 inch inert bazooka rocket.
    Do I have a cool wife or what? The 45 was part of the package as well.

    Is it possible to send REP POINTS to your wife? You have a gem! Cherish her.

    Very cool of your wife. But did you explain to her that none of those will fit into the 1911?

    Tigpa,
    No, I didn't explain to her that they didn't fit. I just told I still need more ammo.

    All you guys are right about having a great wife. I married above my pay grade! I am sure I was not the only one of us who did that.
    Thanks,
    Smitty

    PS, I now know that WWII bazooka shells were 2.36 inches while mine was actually made in 12/55 for the M20 3.5 inch bazooka.

    Haha! I was expecting a rant about a liberal wife that thinks you don't need any more ammo, any more guns, etc thus 3 rounds. I think you win on that one.

    Well done.

    I think I saw a bazooka for sale in Sportsmans Guide.
