Hello. Butting in.

Is the US more chamfered and about 50% taller. Kinda looks Like a big 50cal.
The British is just 30mm all the way.

You know my answer DONT TOUCH . But the long green one is by far the most dangerous also comes in light blue colour !!


To be fair. We only used to mess with the 3kg ones. And assumed they was pretty safe as you could see straight through them. Haha.
Tho I do think I have a bdu33 knocking about somewhere ;)

I dont know about Cowden, but at Tain we actually had a couple of UXBs stolen!!! One 6 pounder was left at the oil rig yard at Nigg, we never found out where the other one ended up.
