When They Put Aircraft API Rounds in Thompson Guns — Japanese Called it Armor Fire

Описание: November 1943. Tarawa Island. US Marines are dying by the thousands trying to assault Japanese concrete fortifications. Standard bullets just bounce off. Then a Navy armorer hands Staff Sergeant "Bull" Donovan 30 rounds with red-painted tips - ammunition so classified, even mentioning its name could get you court-martialed.
These "Dragon Rounds" combined tungsten carbide armor-piercing cores with incendiary compounds that burned at 2,200°F. They could penetrate steel, crack concrete through thermal shock, and turn enemy bunkers into death traps. In 36 hours at Tarawa, they saved an estimated 500 Marine lives.
But here's the shocking part: this ammunition remained classified for 40 YEARS. The technology was so advanced and strategically sensitive that veterans couldn't even discuss it at reunions.
In this video, discover:

How engineers at Frankford Arsenal made the "impossible" possible
The brutal combat testing at Tarawa that proved Dragon Rounds worked
Why the Japanese called it "Armor Fire" and feared its distinctive sound
The true cost: $2.47 per round in 1943 dollars
Why 6.2 million rounds were manufactured, then the program was erased from history

This is the story they didn't want told.
