Description So, while at Cornfest this year I picked up this machine gun shell from the folks running tours and flights of a WWII B-25 bomber. The recessed portion at the blunt end spoke to me of its capacity for being wire-wrapped. I twisted some copper and gold wire together and then worked it about the shell, and added a small silvery brad to mark the front and cover where I twisted the ends of the wire together.

Is that a .50 cal shell? or a .30?

::laughs:: Thanks. I need to get more of these some time, I really like the shape of them for wire-wrapping and playing with.
