A 20mm Cannon cartridge. Typically found on aircraft.

I have a cartridge for that in my collection. It is the ideal caliber to shoot rabbits at 2 miles. :roll:

20mm Vulcan like they use in the modern day Gatling guns?

I believe you are correct, Abhijit. From what I can tell about the 20mm Anzio, it does look like they use the same cartridge as the Vulcan cannon.
The Vulcan Gatling cannon(M61), the Phalanx CIWS and some mobile US anti air weapons use the 20X102 cartridge.


There have been numerous 20mm cartridges over time.
Here are some of the most common: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/an_intr ... ing_20.htm

I agree, xl: There are many different kinds of cartridges that fall under the 20 mm category.
