Fun fact: When the tank armor became too thicc for the Lahti during our fights against the soviets, it found a new purpose as a AA gun...But also a long range sniper rifle.

I bought one of these anti-tank rifles about 20 years ago. I've also bought a bunch of different ammo for it, including your practice rounds, AP rounds, and loaded a of API/Incendiary rounds. The L-39 is still not a rifle you would want to face. Hiding from this gun can be a problem. Save your empty cases, you can get reloading die for this round, they ain't cheap but they can be had. Reloading brings the price per round down significantly. And you can buy 20MM Rofus rounds to load, now those are fun.

The L-39 WAS originally created 1939 here in Finland by Mr. Aimo Lahti (who also designed the famous Suomi-KP or Finnish Submachine gun) to be used against armoured vehicles or to distract tanks + it was modified to be used against airplanes during the WW2. Though its effective range was about 500 yards - theoretically the round could fly through the air up to four miles so it was used as a sniper also.

Yeah - I remember growing up in the 80s and literally seeing buckets and barrels of WWII rifles for $50 at Kmart and Sears - if I was just 5-10 years older, I'd have several of them sitting in my gun closet. I was at least old enough to score myself a mint condition 1942 Mosin Nagant, Romanian AK and a pair of CZ52 pistols during the huge Soviet firearm dump of the 90s for a song, so half a pie at least.

One of my first bosses in the Air Force used to buy stuff off the catalogs (late 50's, early 60's) due to his part time job rebuilding old cars (great wages for a 16-year-old). It gave him the money to buy stuff ranging from a Siamese Mauser (he bought converted to 45-70) to a 20mm Lathi semi-auto rifle. He owned about 30 guns (all rifles) before he joined the Air Force. All were kept in storage and years later he sold the Lathi with ammo (it cost him about $110 bucks in 1962) for over $30,000 almost thirty years later to help finance his house when he retired. He's still got many of the rifles he bought back in the heyday of surplus guns. I've got several catalogs from that time frame and from the late 80's during the surplus gun rush after the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act opened up the foreign gun market again (closed in 1968).

I was at a machine gun meeting (at an undisclosed location 800m range) and a guy had a 20mm Lahti there. He had a bunch of non-training rounds, and was selling shots (something like $100 or $200 per round). This was about 15 years ago (or more). One dude bought 3 or 4 rounds, and I watched him shoot the first one. The recoil pushed him physically back (while prone) like a full foot. He got up, dusted himself off, and said "That's all I need of that!". I think he kept the unfired rounds as souvenirs.

It stopped T26, T28, and T38 tanks , T34 had already armor that stopped 20mm ammo . It was used in bunker busting with HE ammo , you get it a shot in when enemy start shooting, you knew you hit the enemy and most likely damaged the machine gun , also it was used against snipers.

Looking up loading data, this seems to be about 30 g at 800 m/s. NIJ max backface deformation is 44 mm. Assume plate thickness 10 mm, which would be very heavy in steel. That gives 54 mm in which to get 48 kJ out of that bullet. Six eights, a decimal point and a lot of eights newtons. Ninety tonnes. Yikes. 200,000 lb over a 162 in² plate, 84 atmospheres of pressure. Again, yikes. There are reasons the NIJ don't certify level "III+" or "IV" helmets.

OK, my grandfather and my uncles neighbour was a Winter War veteran and continues war veteran aswell. I met that man several times during the 1970:s and all the way to the late 1980:s. It was two brothers that fought in the Finnish Lapland, during the Winter War and later on down at the Karelian Isthmus aswell. But he was actually armed with this Lahti L-39. He told me about one specific occasion that he actually was a bit shamed of doing. We was having a Saune evening together with my uncle and these two brothers. They never talked about the War if they wasn't drinking alcohol or beer. He said that he was lying down in his. position and he was guarding their trenches and the Soviets where only some 200 meters away in their own trenches. But on this occasion he saw that one of these Soviets all of a sudden just stands up, and came up from that trench only to calmly walk away a bit and then just as of nothing was worrying him at all, because he pulled his pants down and started pooping. He was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, because that was not something that happened on a daily basis. But he said that he loaded his Lahti and gave him enough time to release himself a kit, but not all of it. He just took and aimed right on his but cheeks, because he was turned so he had all of his hairy ass in front of him. I feel sorry for that Soviet soldier, because he shot that 20 mm anti tank bullet right on spot, and he said that he could see that he was basically shot in 1/2 because his legs butt and lower parts kind of exploded away and his upper body just collapsed down on that warm load of manure, that he just had dropped... He said that this was something that he could not let go, because in some way was that scenery something that stuck in his head forever. He said that it was the only time that he felt anything for killing an enemy soldier. He told me about the time when it got really personal and close, and it was when he had to take down an enemy guard, that was patrolling alongside the Murmansk Railroad. They was to blow up the railroad with some kind of satchel charges, with timers attached onto them. This was when it got very personal and very intimate. He had to use his own Finnish Puukko to cut his..... yeah, you know 😢...They took out some guards that way.

It came bit late to be an viable AT weapon, but it was used very successfully against hardpoints, MG nests, bunker openings. Also during the summer Finns shot icendiary rounds using the weapon with indirected fire, to cause forest fires on Russian backs. It was after all an AA gun, it had serious range.

Yea, the safest place to be downrange when firing these large caliber rifles is directly behind the straight line of the projectile when shooting water or ballistic jell.... The round will 100% ALWAYS Deviate!!! I've absolutely never seen one go straight through either of those.

I am pretty sure that you can't buy 20 x 138 mm anywhere. You need to find some special guy for those. I would suggest making a mold of the brass and then you can cast as many as you want. Make a couple of molds and with a little bit of adjustment you can get the shrinkage right. After you get the brass right you can machine any kind of ammo you want to fit it.

Well the Lahti L-39 is primarily an anti-tank rifle....so I hope you get some AP rounds for it and maybe shoot at some AR500 body armour plate and compare it to a .50BMG round. Anyway, some good demo's with the training round...surprising that it went through _all_ the windshields, but I guess that's the round going to work as usual!
