Penultimate Projectile

If it is a nice 300 pound Parrott with original fuze, I might have a line to one.

Mike has mentioned a few times on this forum what his #1 penultimate projectile is.  It is an exercise of the forum search function for everyone to see if they can find the old threads that said what it was.  For a hint, the finned Archer wasn't his first choice for #2 but seems to have moved up into that slot.

6.4 Archer

And we have a winner!  Number 2 was the Archer with a Bormann fuse but it seems the winged moved up to number 2 and now off the list.  Mike must be hot on the trail of a number 1 or 3 now!

I would settle for the 300# Parrot.

6.4 archer looks like, well, an archer. The finned one is still cooler. Guess i go for look rather than scarcity

I like your logic and look forward to seeing you in Mansfield this coming weekend.

I say the 6.4 Archer or maybe a 200lb schenkle?

Mike,
    Isn't a 6.4 Archer a seige or garrison rifle?  Where would that caliber have been used?

The books say only Island #10, but I have heard rumors of also at Fort Donelson.
