Default Now that's a stripper clip!

No, not that kind of stripper, you perverts!

We were going through my stepmom's garage when we found the shells and clip for one of the Bofors guns from my dad's AC-130 in Vietnam. Of course, since he wasn't allowed to send war material home, he declared them as "Four 40-millimeter brass vases with vase holder."

They kind of dwarf the 8mm Mauser stripper clip, don't they...?

But this is what the gun actually looks like.

Thanks for the pic, I haven't seen one of those for a long time... and it's been a long time since I could say that

The 40 mm is small on the current AC-130s. They also have a 105 mm howitzer.
