A HE shell with very thin walls but with high capacity for explosive content. --Denniss 20:41, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

"In May 1940 the Bf 109E-4 entered service with the modified MG FF/M gun, adapted to fire the new Minengeschoss (mine shell) ammunition which had very thin walls and a doubled capacity for high explosive (HE)"
