[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 656512, member: 7587"] The biggest shell is from a Browning 50 cal machine gun. Made in Des Moines. Iowa. USA. mainly used in Bombers and fighter planes. 4 means 1944. The middle one was made in Footscray, Melbourne. 1985. No info on the other one. I looked up the effect the 50 cal has on a human body. I wish I hadn't. If it goes through your body it turns everything inside to mush. If it hits a bone, the bone turns into fragments flying around in your body like a hand grenade. Either way, you're stuffed. Thanks Simmo, for the bullet I.D. info charts. Military bullets don't have the calibre on the case, whereas, civilian bullets do. wiley [/QUOTE]
