    Ammo for the various MICV guns in service today. The first one is just the US 20x102 Vulcan round, for comparison.

    Can anyone identify all of them?

    I know the third one is a sabot round. Is the fifth round HESH?

    They are all APDS rounds of different calibres, except for the first and third, which are both HE. (Correction: No.3 is APFSDS)

    A clue: Nos 1 and 2 are 20mm, No.3 is 25mm, the next three are 30mm, and the last two 35mm and 40mm respectively. What guns are they for?

    You are an unadventurous lot! :)

    The answers are as follows:

APDS (40x364)

    How about the TAM VCTP, a close relative of the Marder?

    I like the swedish CV90.

    Denmark has just bought the CV9035 Mk III. It's considered one of the most modern and best IFV today.

    Has anyone mentioned the Boxer yet?

    A Dutch-German coproject that the French and British were originally involved in as well. Soon to be purchased in the hundreds by the Netherlands to replace the old YPRs.
