Military M6 Scope??
Marked "M6", made by EK (Eastman Kodak?), very heavy, about 1" tube, with integral quick detach mounts (unlike anything I have ever seen for a rifle).
The magnification is very low, and the reticle is circular. I was told that it is the aiming scope for a spotting rifle on a tank, but don't know...

This is worth just a little more..... 0 -
What's the velocity on that thing? Is the projectile a shaped charge? 0 -
It wasn't a very good gun.
The M51 apc round was anti tank with a tracer, could do about 2.5" of amour.
The M63 HE was a general purpose round with about 3 lbs of explosive.
The M2 was a cannister round {shotgun} with 122 lead balls for anti personal.
There were many more options for the 37mm aircraft mounted, self loading gun, again that wasn't a game changer either.0 -
The M3 was not very effective against German armor in Europe, however it was very useful against the Japanese in the Pacific. M3's firing canister helped decimate the Japanese at Tenaru Creek on Guadalcanal and it was effective against the light armor fielded by the Japanese. 0
