Amazing high resolution pictures of the ammunition for this gun!

I've found some very high quality images of the original Hungarian 20x105b APHE-T (Armour-piercing high explosive tracer) ammunition used by this rifle. All images include a clear picture of the headstamps, and one of the images even clearly displays an unfired projectile removed from its case!! https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/hungarian-20x105b/47069 (if you scroll a bit down on the page you can see two beautiful very high resolution images of the ammunition that were posted by users)

I do not fully understand the procedure to upload new images, and their copyright on Wikipedia and such. But sadly because I've already spent over an hour editing stuff I've really got to go to bed now. However, they are so epic that I just couldn't allow the incredible images I've found to go to waste! Hence me posting a link to them here while hoping for another kind soul to come along and add them to the article instead... — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBauwssss (talk • contribs) 00:40, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture

Henry Bowman, the main character in Unintended_Consequences_(novel) owns a Solothurn S-18/100, at one point using it to shoot down a National Guard helicopter that has been sent to kill him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 23:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A rather important note, even if it is a spoiler. Tisane (talk) 13:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-personnel?

Could this be used as an anti-personnel weapon? Tisane ^talk/_stalk 21:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

" Finnish source gives armour penetration of the gun (probably achieved with the Hungarian APHE-T round, since it was the only type used in Finland) as 20mm at a 60-degree angle at 100-metre distance, decreasing to 16mm at 500 metres."

Penetration of what kind of armor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.125.179.170 (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
