This is part one of my three part series on the Flak 38 AntiAircraft gun. It is fairly difficult to find reliable information on this weapon so I hope you are able to learn something from this video.
All items show in this video are 100% inert and safe.

A quick technical note:
For the sake of simplicity I chose to us the the "American" designations of these ammunition types i.e. API, HET, etc. The full names in German are somewhat long and confusing but very descriptive. Should you wish to know the full German name for your round please consult the websites below.
