Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 19, 2017 I was reading Wilbur’s thread and I glanced down at the paperweight on my desk. I wonder what kind of gun shoots this thing? I found it when cleaning out my utility room to try to make room for firewood before my surgery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted November 19, 2017 Here is a normal 12 oz can to give an indication of the size of this thing. Is it like a 50 caliber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted November 19, 2017 Here is a normal rifle bullet along side it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 19, 2017 Looks smaller than a 20 MM round. I have a dummy round around here somewhere. I got to shoot an 20 MM cannon once. It was attached to an F-111D. Too bad it wasn't flying at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted November 19, 2017 I don't know where it came from. Probably one of my sons. It's fairly heavy, don't know if it's live. Makes a good paperweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted November 19, 2017 Share #7 Posted November 19, 2017 Looks like a .50 caliber round. https://www.google.com/search?q=50+caliber+round&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZnqnE58nXAhUX8GMKHVZuB90QsAQIJQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted November 19, 2017 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2017 Looks like a 50 to me. I got mine from a coworker whose wife bought him a sniper rifle for Father's Day circa 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get anything on the web I guess. My middle son is in the infantry so my guess is it’s something he brought home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
