81 mm HE bomb M374A2

Armament M1, M29 , M29A1 and TDA mortars. Development By PYRKAL, based upon the US pattern. Description The steel body is fitted with a plastic obturating ring below the bourrelet. It is threaded at the nose for the fuze and has a threaded spigot at the rear to which the alloy tailboom and fin unit is screwed. The tailboom contains an M285 ignition cartridge, located just below the body and beneath the gas escape holes in the boom. A percussion primer M71A2 is fitted at the end of the tailboom. When struck by the firing pin this ignites the ignition cartridge, the flames from which pass through the gas holes and ignite the secondaries. There are nine secondary increments provided, in elongated fabric bags attached by means of two `increment holders' around the lower body and fins. There are two operational charges: Charge A uses one secondary increment; Charge B uses nine secondary increments. Manufacturer PYRKAL: Greek Powder & Cartridge Company.Read More

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

107 mm HE/ICM bomb GR M20

Armament US pattern M2 and M30 107 mm (4.2 in) rifled mortars. Development By PYRKAL, to improve the performance of 4.2 in mortars in Greek service. Description This is to the same general shape as the standard HE bomb for the 107 mm mortar (see USA entry) and uses the same obturation system. It differs in being a cargo bomb, carrying 20 M20G prefragmented dual-purpose submunitions inside the body. The submunitions have a shaped charge for light armour defeat and fragmentation for antipersonnel effects. Each 39 mm diameter submunition carries 30 g of Composition A5. These are arranged around a central rod which terminates in a plate above the obturation assembly. An expelling charge below the fuze forces down this rod, so shearing off the end of the bomb and then ejects the submunitions. Centrifugal force arms the individual fuzes in the submunitions and disperses them radially from the bomb's trajectory. Delay parachutes slow the descent and stabilise the submunitions so that they fall into the target area. Dispersion radius is approximately 70 to 140 m. On striking an armoured vehicle the shaped charge, within each submunition, will penetrate at least 60 mm of armour; as an anti-personnel munition they will each produce a minimum of 200 fragments with a lethal radius of 15 m against standing troops.

4.73 x 33 mm

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 4.73 mm DE Caseless Armament Heckler and Koch G11 rifle. Development Development of this cartridge was carried out by Dynamit Nobel and Heckler and Koch from about 1970 onwards, specifically for the G11 rifle. Original versions used nitrocellulose propellant, but this gave rise to cook-off problems because of the absence of a brass case to shield the heat from the chamber walls. The propellant was then changed to a new High Temperature Propellant (HiTP), based on a denatured hexogen explosive compound. The new propellant raised the cook-off temperature by 100ºC, rendering the weapon immune to cook-off problems in normal use. Development of the G11 has ceased and ammunition is no longer in production. The cartridge is maintained herein only for technical reference purposes. Description The conventional bullet is set into a block of propellant and held rigidly. The block is square in section and longer than the bullet, but the overall length is about half that of an equivalent conventionally cased cartridge. The primer is a small pellet of initiating mixture loaded into a cavity in the base of the propellant block. Ahead of the primer is a small booster charge of initiatory explosive. This, when ignited by the cap, blows the bullet out of the block and seats it in the rifling before ignition of the propellant takes place. Whilst this seating movement is taking place the block of propellant is shattered and ignited. The object in seating the bullet, by means of this booster charge, is to ensure that the bullet is firmly lodged in the rifling before the propellant explosion takes place, so avoiding any leak of gas around an unseated bullet. It also ensures that the chamber pressure and gas volume are constant from round to round. The bullet is streamlined, of conventional form and consists of a lead core, steel jacket and gilding metal envelope. It shows no fragmentation on impact and will pierce 6 mm of mild steel plate at 300 m range and a standard steel helmet at 600 m range.

Armament This projectile can be fired from the following self-propelled 155 mm howitzers: TAMSE VCA 155; PzH 2000 ; Rheinmetall M109A3G and M44T ; Soltam Slammer; Otobreda Palmaria and M109L ; K9 Thunder ( South Korea ); AS90 and Braveheart ; M284 Cannon for M109A5 and M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzers; XM2001/XM2002 Crusader AFAS. This projectile can be fired from the following towed 155 mm howitzers: FH-70 and FH-70 R; GH N-45 ; CITEFA CALA 30/2; Patria Vammas 155 GH 52 Howitzer; Soltam M-46; Otobreda 155 mm 155/39 TM; RDM 155 mm M139 and M114/39 ; SANTA BARBARA 155 mm SB 155/39 and 155/52 APU SBT-1 Howitzers, M114 155/45 and M114/39 ; Bofors FH-77B ; M199 Cannon for M198 Towed Howitzer; XM777 Lightweight Towed Howitzer. Development The 155 mm Smoke DM 105 projectile is one of the three projectiles developed as a result of the tripartite agreement entered into by Germany, Italy and the UK to develop the 155 mm FH-70 towed howitzer and its associated ammunition. The 155 mm Smoke DM 105 projectile was developed by Rheinmetall W & M GmbH (now Rheinmetall DeTec) and is manufactured by Buck Werke GmbH & Co of Bad Reichenhall. Rheinmetall DeTec has an Infra-red Smoke projectile under development. This projectile is ballistically matched to the DM 642 (RB 63) Cargo projectile and produces dense smoke for 4 minutes. A version which produces combined infra-red and millimetre-wave screening characteristics will also be available. The British Army have issued an Endorsed Staff Target (ST(L)4082) for an improved 155 mm Multi-Spectral Screening Smoke Shell to provide obscuration in the visual and near/far infra-red wavebands. A feasibility study commenced during 1995. Royal Ordnance (now BAE Systems , RO Defence) are developing a 155 mm Multi-Spectral Smoke Shell (MSSS) as a replacement for the existing 155 mm Smoke DM 105. It will supply a smoke screen to operate in the near and far infra-red wavebands, will be compatible with the Joint Ballistics MoU, and will ballistically match M483A1/DM 642 projectiles. Description The 155 mm Smoke DM 105 projectile is a separate loading, base ejection carrier shell with a high-grade forged steel body. Normally fitted with a mechanical time fuze, the 155 mm Smoke DM 105 contains (from the nose) a booster, an ejection mechanism and four smoke units stacked inside the projectile body. The base is recessed and held in place by six slotted pins. Located just above the base is a single drive band pressed into a preprepared ribbed groove. The nose and body sections are internally fitted with a steel support tube and an inner sleeve, this presents a smooth surface for the ejection of the smoke units. As the nose-mounted time fuze functions the flash from the fuze initiates the ignition train which is transmitted to the booster, a pelleted 6.5 g charge of black powder. The booster initiates the ejection mechanism which commences with the ignition of 15 g of black powder in a silk gauze bag inside a cylindrical metal case. The resultant internal pressure forces a plunger plate downwards to create pressure on the shell base. The slotted pins shear so that the base falls away enabling the four smoke units to be ejected. The flash from the ejection mechanism's black powder charge also travels down a centrally located flash tube to each of the four smoke units, igniting one or more of the three ignition cartridges in each unit so that the smoke mixture has been ignited approximately 4.5 seconds after ejection; that is, by the time each unit reaches the ground. Each unit contains hexachloroethane/zinc (HC) white smoke mixture in a cylindrical metal case. Each unit burns for 3 to 3.5 minutes (dependent on conditions) to create the smoke cloud which can be up to 200 m long, 50 m wide, and 10 to 15 m high at a distance of 150 m from the burst (under normal atmospheric conditions). The charge system used with the tripartite family of 155 mm ammunition is known colloquially as the `three cartridge' system. As its name implies the system is made up of three cartridges, the first two with a base charge and a number of increments. Cartridge 3 (Charge 8) is a unitary charge. Cartridge 1, the Charge Propelling, 155 mm, Howitzer, Charge 2, L2A1 consists of the Charge 1 and Charge Propellant Increment 2 combined to form Charge 2. The two weigh 1.21 kg and use SC/202 propellant. They are stitched together and should not be separated. Charge 1 L1A1 consists of a salmon pink cloth bag, containing 783 g of propellant SC/Z008 with an Igniter L19A1 containing 67 g of NC/200 and 18 g of G20 gunpowder stitched to its base. The forward part of the bag is recessed to contain the Charge Propellant Increment 2, a white cloth bag containing 311 g of propellant SC/Z008. Cartridge 2, the Charge Propelling, 155 mm, Howitzer Charge 7, L8A1 is made up from Charge 3 L4A1 and Charge Propellant Increments 4 to 7. Total weight is 7.55 kg. The Charge Propelling 155 mm, Howitzer, Charge 3, L4A1 consists of a smoke grey cloth bag containing 1.39 kg of NO25 propellant divided into two equal bundles. The charge bag is stitched into a combustible sleeve which in turn is secured in a smoke grey main charge bag. The sleeve and main charge bag are large enough to receive the propellant increments 4 to 7 which, when assembled with Charge 3, form the Charge 7 L8A1. The Igniter L20A1 containing 80 g of propellant NC/200 and 18 g of G20 gunpowder is fitted on the base of the main charge bag, and the mouth is fitted with a Velcro loop and hook. The Charge Propellant Increment 4 consists of an orange cloth bag containing 529 g of NO25 propellant. The Charge Propellant Increment 5 consists of a grass green cloth bag containing 1.56 kg of N/S 134-040 propellant together with a flash inhibitor pack. This pack contains 125 g of potassium sulphate powder and is positioned in the centre of the propellant. Wrapped and secured around the front end of the propellant is 17 g of lead foil. The Charge Propellant Increment 6 consists of a dark violet cloth bag containing 2.42 kg of N/S 134-040 propellant divided into two equal bundles, each of which has lead foil strip wrapped and secured around its front end. The Charge Propellant Increment 7 consists of a beige cloth bag containing 1.49 kg of N/S 134-040 propellant divided into three equal bundles, each of which has lead foil wrapped and secured around its front end. Cartridge 3 is the Charge, Propelling, 155 mm, Howitzer, Charge 8, L10A1 . This consists of a brown combustible main case and a pink combustible end cap. The end cap contains an Igniter, Propelling, Charge L23A1 mounted on a perforated disc. The propellant charge bundle consists of 12.48 kg of N/S 54.14 propellant sticks tied in five places using polyester/cotton thread and incorporating lead foil positioned under the top layer of sticks. All charges are ignited by the Primer Percussion DM191A1 which contains a primary charge of 1.25 g of nitrocellulose S536. When fired from the 155 mm FH-70 Towed Howitzer using the three cartridge system the 155 mm Smoke DM 105 can reach the following ranges: Charge 2 - range 3,900 to 5,900 m Charge 3 - range 4,800 to 7,500 m Charge 4 - range 6,200 to 9,500 m Charge 5 - range 8,500 to 12,500 m Charge 6 - range 11,200 to 16,800 m Charge 7 - range 14,200 to 20,900 m Charge 8 - range 17,000 to 24,700 m. When fired from the 155 mm FH-70 Towed Howitzer the 155 mm Smoke DM 105 has a maximum muzzle velocity of 827 m/s. It is anticipated that future 155 mm propellant charge systems will involve Modular Charge Systems (MCS). The German Army has already adopted the Rheinmetall DeTec Modular Propelling Charge System (MPCS) DM 72, as have Norway. and Malaysia . The United Kingdom has adopted the South African SOMCHEM M90 Bi-Modular Charge System.

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

120 mm HE improved bomb HE-L

Armament All NATO 120 mm smoothbore mortars and can be optimised for the US Army 120 mm mortar system. Development By Rheinmetall for high-efficiency top attack against semi-hard targets or field emplacements. Description A streamlined, pointed bomb with alloy tailboom and fins. The head of the body is threaded and fitted with a proximity sensor. Beneath this is a curved heavy metal plate of prefragmented sphero-hexagonal tungsten fragments and the interior of the body is prefragmented. The body cavity is filled with high explosive and a base detonating fuze is inserted into the rear of the body and retained by the tailboom. At the optimum distance from the target, the Kongsberg P424 proximity sensor ignites an acceleration charge and the ogive is separated and accelerated forward, to clear the way for the tungsten fragments. The impulse of the separation decelerates the bomb so that the base fuze initiates the main explosive charge. The detonation wave then blows the heavy plate forward in a cloud of fragments that have penetrative effect against semi-hard targets. At the same time the body is fragmented and distributed in the usual pattern to provide anti-personnel fragments. As an option, the fuze may be set to PD to provide a groundburst.

7.5 × 55 mm

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 7.5 mm Swiss; 7.5 mm Schmidt-Rubin; 7.5 mm M1911 Armament The 7.5 mm Swiss cartridge is unique to the Swiss Army and has been used in various Schmidt-Rubin bolt-action rifles, the Stgw 57 and SG510 automatic rifles and Swiss machine guns. Although the Swiss adopted a 5.56 mm rifle in 1990, the 7.5 mm weapons are still widely distributed and are likely to remain in service for many years. Development In its original form the 7.5 mm round was adopted by the Swiss in 1889, one of the first small calibre military rifle cartridges to see service. It was originally used in the Schmidt-Rubin straight pull bolt action rifle, adopted in the same year as the cartridge. The original bullet was round nosed and paper patched, but by 1911, after several improvements, the ogival bullet design was standardised and remained the standard thereafter. The name `Schmidt-Rubin' commemorates the rifle design of Colonel Schmidt and the cartridge design of Major Rubin, who was instrumental in perfecting the small calibre jacketed bullet concept, along with the rifle in which it was originally used. Description The cartridge case is rimless and bottlenecked and is currently made of brass, although steel has been used in the past; aluminium alloy cases have been produced in trial quantities and may be encountered. The bullet is of conventional compound form, with a lead alloy core, steel jacket and copper envelope. The standard Ball GP11 is of streamlined form. Commercial loadings in this calibre are to sporting specification, with soft-nosed bullets, since numbers of earlier Schmidt-Rubin bolt-action rifles were disposed of as surplus.
