Some of the "long" ammo fired by this powerful gun, the Mg-C-30 was a 2cm Flak 30 with incresed rate of fire. The 20x138 B cartrigdes had plenty more power than the MG-FF and MG-151 guns.

Armor piercing, 142 grams.

These are the same munitions as used by the Solothurn, and Lahti A.T. rifles, I have seen many of the ammo types produced by Germany for these weapons, and have some myself, but not the explosive types, they cost alot, and each round needs to be registered and numbered, @$200.00 Its really nice to see the other available ammo, Thanks PanzerKnacker - Raspenau -

No problem, if you want I can post every 20x138mm round used by the Whermacht in a separated topic.
