It didn't have the penetrating power however.

The 20mm round had something like 20g of HE, where the 30mm had 70g

Nice find Cheesehalk. Interesting to see historical dater at work.

I must say I cringe every time a debate is started on AC performance. Only documented dater should be counted or it becomes more of a contest of who sounds the most convincing and not what is truth.
