Gun Cannons

90-mm APC-T Fixed Ammunition M82 /or Gun Cannons, shown in Fig 38, is provided with a different type of igniter, but its projectile is similar to that shown in Fig 36. Length of complete round is 38.24 inches and its wt is 42.75 lb if 7.31 lb of proplnt M6 is used and 43.87 lb if 8.06-lb of the same proplnt is used. Muzzle velocities vary betwn 2600 2800fps and max range is 21400 yd. The rear cavity of proj contains 0.31 lb of Explosive D, a BD fuze and tracer integral with the fuze (Ref 40b, p 54 and Ref 52, pp 2-61 2-62) [Pg.781]

105-mm APDS-T (Armor-Piercing, Discarding Sabot-Tracer) Semifixed Ammunition M392A2 for Gun Cannons, consists of brass or steel cartridge case with crimped, spin-stabilized, projectile. Total length of round is 33.0 inches. The proj consists of a sheathed tungsten carbide core (which is an AP element), a sabot (assembled on its exterior surface), and a tracer. A plastic band is positioned on the outside of sabot at the forward end. [Pg.783]

A fiber rotating band and a plastic obturator are assembled on the outside of the proj near the base of the sabot. During proj flight, the tracer burns for a minimum of 2.5 seconds. The sabot discards upon leaving the gun muzzle (with velocity of 4850fps) by setback, centrifugal and air-pressure forces. The sheathed core penetrates the target by kine- [Pg.783]

As no cutaway view of US sabot projectile is given in Ref 52, we are referring the readers to the drawings of German sabot projectiles given on p Ger 171 of Ref 35, and to pp 363-71 of Ref 27b. About 12 types were developed in Germany before and during tt WII [Pg.784]

The civilian advances were accompanied, and often led, by advances in military ordnance. Iron and steel became the basis of swords, spears, arrows, guns, cannon, armor, tanks, warships, and more. In fact, the motivation for inventing and developing new hard materials was often the desire for improved military ordnance. This continues with searches for better body armor, and the inverse searches for more penetrating projectiles. [Pg.3]

HEP-T (High-Explosive, Plastic-Tracer) Projectiles are used against tanks. Information about their construction is classified, but they are described in confidential Technical Manual TM 9-1300-203-1(1961).
