30mm? To big to be a .50cal

Good eye. Yes, 30mm. It is an actual spent shell casing from an A-10 Thunderbolt / Warthog from Iraq / Afghanistan tours. I purchased from a U.S. veteran that crewed these beasts from a firearm forum I am also a member of. It is my favorite desk curio / paperwieght / conversation piece.
God bless our troops! :cigar:

I loved having the A-10's on station when I was in Afghanistan. Didn't happen often but no one seemed to want to play when they were cruising around.

A-10 is my all time favorite jet, when I wanted to fly as a kid that's all I wanted to fly. But found out I'm too blind for that. But man gotta love that cannon. If I were on the ground kickin in doors I would want them over my head for sure. I would love to have a 30 mm for the same purpose. Awesome piece!

Nice lookin pea shooter. Buying the lower for my first build tomorrow. Like I need another hobsession... Wish me luck and that the wife doesn't find receipts.

Really enjoying this treat with thanks to @Daven along with a Henry's hard orange soda to celebrate completing my first week back in the gym, eating right, and not drinking on "school nights" to try and get my chunky butt back in shape.
