In the above episode of Combat Cash filmed in 2011, owner Steve Preston acquires old ordnance for his M18 Hellcat tank destroyer. He is also shown test-firing the 76mm shells.

@ 08:00 the narrator asks an ordnance expert about reloading old shells:

"Is there any margin for error?

- Not really.

It's life or death.

- You only make one mistake.

That's called death."
