[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1549591, member: 27307"] These are the variations used for the original ammunition: [IMG]https://s15-us2.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpicturearchive.gunauction.com%2F982125159%2F8283180%2Fe7f32d3f146aa356bf0d5e59104a5ed1.jpg&sp=481f795f5cde33623586981165f8bf60[/IMG] The orange one is made from wood and required a muzzle device to shred it.
