<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1830552, member: 44079&quot;]I think some are making a presumption that &#039;shell casing&#039; only means fired small arms casings of the .45 acp or 30-06 type.&nbsp; I think it is important to remember that in WW2 a lot of artillery of many sizes used brass shell casings for the cannon shells (i.e. fixed ammunition).&nbsp; Anti aircraft fire training ranges would have generated a lot of 40mm and 20mm casings.&nbsp;&nbsp; So would the tank gunnery ranges with everything from 37 mm to 105mm.&nbsp; Also those places in Arizona, Florida and elsewhere that specialized in training aircraft gunners on use of the ball and window mounted .30 and .50 machineguns.&nbsp; I believe just about all the cannon up to 105mm in that time period used fixed ammunition (i.e., with a shell case) vs. a propellant bag.&nbsp; Ever see a shell casing from a 75mm tank cannon?&nbsp; You could make 100s of pennys from just one of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
