128mm Kanone 40 (Pz.Sfl.)
German 128mm Ammo for SPG Pz.Sfl. V "Sturer Emil"
art. A35-008
The set consists of twelve pieces of cartridges (six pieces of each type) and four cases extra.
There are two types of ammo in this set: standard armour-piercing (AP) and high-explosive (HE) shells.
The Emil's gun was a remade version of Schwere Flak 39 128mm. This tank destroyer was used at the Easter front as an experiment to check how this heavy anti-tank gun works.
Despite of German planners' anxiety, the Russian didn't use any tanks with the heavier armor than KW-1, and the function of anti-tank weapon was realized by tanks with the long-barreled 75 and88mm guns, which could carry more ammo and shoot more rapidly.
