Defender130CC Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hi to all! Sorry for writing english, but I'm not swedish. "Just" an ammunition collector and researcher from Germany. I'm glad of finding this forum and hope that some of my sporadic questions about swedish ammunition can be answered. Enough of introduction. Can somebody explain me the differences between krevadpatron 6 and 7? What is their exactly purpose? Do they have different "touchable markings" at their top end caps? It would be great if somebody can show pictures with the markings and differences of this cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) The Krevadpatron 6 and 7 is used in a flare-gun, and is used mostly during exercise to replicate artillery or other types of explotions. I'm not sure about the markings, but it would make sense because there is Flare-cartridges that are similar in size. Since flares are mostly used in darkness, it makes it alot less prone to fire off a Krevadpatron by misstake and risk hearing damage.

Defender130CC Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thank you for the explanation. That's exactly what I thought about their use. I am still looking for reference images of the two cartridges. On the Internet I have unfortunately found nothing. And in my AmKat 2001, only krevadptr 6 is included. All pictures, manuals or additional informations are very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
