The Tiger's main type of anti-tank ammo wasthe Panzergranate 39, other type of rounds were used against soft targets. LET'S TALK LEAD: The Tiger I carried 92 rounds of 88mm ammo,with modifications, some tanks carried between 106 to 120 rounds.2x7.92mm MG 34 machine guns w/4800 rounds, some crews carried even more. This doesn'tcount personel weapons MP40 and the Walther P38 Pistol, or whatever could be issued. Each Tiger I, cost the Fatherland 250,800 RM1,342 were built, not counting rebuilds and salvaged tanks. Today only a few survivors exist worldwide. So you want to know what type of rounds were carried.PzGr.39PzGr.40HIGr39Sch Sprgr.Patr. Incendiary/Shrapnel

The price of a Tiger was between 250,000RMsto 800,000RMs after production, issue to the troops, support equipment, maintenance andtraining of the panzer crews, vehicles that were returned to the factory for rebuilds.Added to the overall logistics cost of fuel oil and spare-parts.
