MISSION For use with 105mm US M68, UK L7, CN105F1 and other Stanag 4458 compliant tank guns, to provide cost effective marksmanship and live fire training of gun crews. DESCRIPTION The projectile consists of a sub-projectile and sabot. The sub-projectile comprises a fin stabilized steel rod and a tracer assembled in the fin assembly. The sub-projectile is contained in a 3-piece aluminium Discarding Sabot, held in place with a polymer band at the forward end and a polymer obturating band at the rear end of the sabot.
The projectile is crimped to the cartridge case, which is loaded with cool burning, multi-perforated, loose propellant, and is fitted with an electric primer and a wear reducing liner.
