A RIVER FULL OF WWII WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION / РАСКОПКИ В ЖЕЛЕЗНОЙ РЕКЕ 

👍

@@WWII_METAL_DETECTING Sorry, but I have to write to you in English. Does your government or the police make you turn in any type of weapons, ammunition or explosives that you find, even if it is from the 1940s, and underwater, or rusty? And what are they allowed to keep, considering how rare alot of it is, and the amount of work it takes to salvage it?

​@@WWII_METAL_DETECTING Здравствуйте, а в России все это можно найти? Я тоже ищу, но в Чехии, но там уже не очень. У вас есть тип, где я могу посмотреть? спасибо мне 28 лет

I think that's 7.62 x54R, rimmed for the extractors pleasure, standard soviet rifle round

I concur. .303 British as used by the Baltic States.

@@stevef3274 Your right. another state who liked it rimmed

@@stevemorgan3027 I agree here it is too short for .303 Brit and not taprered enough in the case

I'd bet a pretty fair number would.

My wife washed a 22lr round that was in my pocket in our washing machine and found it as she was putting the clothes in the dryer. I tried firing it but it was a dud

@@factorybear5264 Military ammo is sealed pretty well since Armies operate in all weather.. A flintlock in the rain, not so good.

@@factorybear5264 a .22lr round isn't sealed.

@Go-on Touch-it well, it's not really archaeology like digging for ancient history. It didn't really happen all that long ago

Without clearly seeing the head-stamp, I am not entirely sure. The other cartridge about that shape and size is the 8 x56R as used by the old Austro-Hungarian empire and still in production and use through WW2. But, I done recall them using Hotchkiss guns. The .303 cartridges pose another question. Machine gun ammo for British-supplied aircraft? The Soviets used a LOT of Hawker Hurricanes for ground attack. Most had .303 Browning guns as their standard armament. A couple of life's little mysteries!

the French 8mm could be ammo for an SS unit or a security unit. these units often had to make do with 2nd rate gear, which was available in large quantities after the Fall of France in 1940

Und das nennst du gerecht ?

Unfortunately not such amazing spelling :-(

Me spell checks bust lol

The primers are sealed and the bullet is sealed inside of the neck. I would give it a try. If the firing pin says only "Click" , so what.

or a Ukrainian or a Georgian or an Uzbek or a Chechen... dozens of different peoples lived in the USSR.

On what?
