Ammunition for 30 mm DEFA guns

Armament Giat Industries 30 mm DEFA Series 552/553 guns; Giat Industries 30 mm Series 554 gun; Giat Industries 30 mm Mle 781 (30 M 781) cannon; M230 Chain Gun. Development The French 30 mm DEFA Series 552/553 and Series 554 aircraft guns have the same design origins as the UK 30 mm Aden Guns, namely the Second World War German Mauser 213C revolver cannon. The German gun was taken as the base for what became a series of 30 mm aircraft guns, culminating in the Series 552/553 and 554 guns used in the Dassault Mirage series of strike fighters and other aircraft. Following early French cartridge design forays, international design collaboration with the UK resulted in the 30 × 113 mm B cartridge, which is nominally interchangeable between the DEFA guns and the 30 mm Aden Gun series. However, DEFA cartridges have significant priming and other differences, plus a higher muzzle velocity, which renders them incompatible with the 30 mm Aden gun counterparts. Nammo Raufoss A/S of Norway produces a 30 mm MultiPurpose (MP) round suitable for DEFA cannon. DEFA 30 mm ammunition is in production throughout the world, especially with nations receiving French defence export matèriel. More than 13,500 30 mm DEFA guns have been sold to 40 countries. The latest production model is the 30-550 F4 carried by the Mirage 2000 family. This gun has two rates of fire, 1,800 rds/min for air-to-air combat and 1,100 rds/min for air-to-surface fire missions. Description All 30 × 113 mm B DEFA rounds are fixed with the projectiles rigidly crimped to their J-type thermally treated steel cartridge cases, coated with a self-lubricating lacquer. The cartridge case has a raised belt just above the extraction rim. All projectiles have copper or gilding metal drive bands, although sintered iron may be encountered. Primers are electrical, using a special conductive compound which ensures correct powder ignition whatever the position of the round. The propellant used is approximately 50 g of a nitrocellulose-based multiperforated (19-hole) tubular propellant known as B.19.T and produced by SNPE. DEFA 30 × 113 mm B ammunition may be put into one of three groups; high-explosive, armour-piercing and practice. A further discrimination can be made between ammunition for air-to-air combat and air-to-ground use. Operating temperature limits are from -54 to +74ºC. Firing safety temperature limits are from -60 to +100ºC. Rounds are fed to the revolver loading mechanism on the Series 553/554 guns in belts using pressed steel links. The following 30 mm DEFA ammunition types are those originally produced by Matra Manurhin Defense, later known as Manurhin Defense and now part of Giat Industries. HE-I - type F 7572 Known as a `mine' (Obus Mine Explosif Incendiaire), the round in this air-to-air combat category is the 30 mm type F 7572, which utilises a cold drawn steel, thin-walled, flat-based projectile fitted with a nose-mounted MR3081 short delay fuze with muzzle and rain safety features. The projectile is filled with 50 g of high-temperature tolerant Hexal (RDX/Aluminium). The fuze has a self-destruct mechanism operating between 6 and 15 seconds after firing, using a pyrotechnic chain to time the self-destruct point. The HE-I projectile weighs 245 g, while a complete round weighs 441 g. Muzzle velocity is 810 m/s. The training round used to simulate the air-to-air HE-I is the 30 mm TP-T type F 2570. It is fitted with an inert nose plug, filled with an inert powder and matches the ballistics of the 30 mm HE-I projectiles exactly. Projectile weight is 245 g and the complete round weighs 452 g. There were two earlier versions of the HE-I round, which are no longer in production, the type F 7570 with an ML68 fuze and the HE-I type F 7571 with an MR381 fuze. HEI - type F 2270 This type of HE-I round is used in the air-to-ground role and is provided with a nose-mounted MR3001 impact fuze. At one time this round was known as an APHEI, with the AP referring to anti-personnel. It is filled with 30 g of high-temperature tolerant Hexal (RDX/Aluminium). There is no self-destruct mechanism. The HE-I projectile weighs 275 g, while the weight of a complete round is 490 g. Muzzle velocity is 775 m/s. The training round used to simulate this HE-I is the TP F 2270. It is fitted with an inert nose plug, filled with an inert substance and matches the ballistics of the air-to-ground HE-I projectile exactly. Projectile weight is 275 g and the complete round weighs 490 g. This round is no longer in series production having been replaced by the generally similar type F5272 with a high fragmentation projectile casing for anti-personnel applications. For this round the MR 3001 point detonating fuze is utilised. There are two earlier versions of air-to-ground HE-I round that are no longer in production, the OAPEI type F 5270 with an MRX70 fuze and the OAPEI type F 5271 with an MR31 fuze. SAPHEI type F 7670 Intended primarily for air-to-air combat, this round is known as the 30 mm type F 7670. It uses a thick-walled, heat-treated steel projectile with a blunt nose, covered by a light alloy windshield to retain a ballistic match with other rounds in the DEFA 30 mm family. The base of the projectile is occupied by a delayed action base fuze known as the MR3005, with an arming distance of 20 m from the muzzle and a self-destruct time between 6 and 15 seconds. When the fuze functions it detonates the explosive payload, which weighs 18 g, to create high-fragmentation effects behind the target armour. The projectile can penetrate up to 20 mm of armour. The weight of the projectile used with this round is 275 g and the weight of a complete round is 490 g. Muzzle velocity is 775 m/s. API-T - OPIT This round, no longer produced, is known as the 30 mm Mle 5970, and is intended for the air-to-ground attack of hard targets such as armoured vehicles. The projectile uses a cold drawn steel body with thin sidewalls, carrying a heat-treated special steel blunt nose slug that acts as the armour penetrator. It is capable of piercing approximately 20 mm of armour plate. The projectile nose is covered by a light alloy windshield to retain a ballistic match with the other rounds in the DEFA 30 mm family. The projectile body is filled with 20 g of an incendiary composition and a tracer element is mounted in the projectile base. The projectile used with this round weighs 275 g and the weight of a complete round is 490 g. Muzzle velocity is 765 m/s. This round is no longer in series production. TP-T - OXT This round acts as a general purpose training round for the 30 mm DEFA family. Known as the Mle F3170, it has a thick-walled steel body with an inert nose plug. The interior is hollow and empty and the base is occupied by the same tracer element assembly as that used on the 30 mm API-T (OPIT) Mle F5970. The projectile used with this round weighs 245 g and the weight of a complete round is 490 g. Muzzle velocity is 795 m/s. TP - OXL This round, the type F 2570, has an inert ballasted projectile. TP - OXAS The OXAS Practice round, the type F 2270, was developed to prevent fired training rounds ricocheting into aircraft following low-altitude flight patterns, it is also suitable for use where ground safety areas are restricted. The OXAS projectile has a steel body with a plastic nose cap that separates from the body on impact, thereby allowing the rest of the body to fragment, even at low angles of incidence. The OXAS projectile has the same ballistic characteristics as the SAPHEI combat round. The complete round weighs approximately 475 g and the projectile 275 g. MP Produced by Nammo Raufoss A/S of Norway, this 30 mm MP projectile will function reliably against a 2 mm dural plate at impact angles between 0 and 87º NATO, but will not function against a 0.5 mm dural plate in front of the gun muzzle. No fuze is involved as the MP projectile relies upon a drop safe pyrotechnic ignition train. When impacting against aircraft type targets, the projectiles will detonate approximately 300 mm within the target. The distribution of fragments is approximately 20º on each side of the line of fire; the fragments are heavy and optimised to defeat material type targets. The secondary incendiary effects will ignite JP4 and JP5 or heavy diesel oil in self-sealing tanks. Incendiary and blast effects are contained within the target. The length of the Nammo Raufoss 30 mm MP round is given as 199.88 mm and it weighs 440 g; projectile weight is 245 g. Muzzle velocity is 810 m/s.

30 × 170 mm Oerlikon ammunition

Armament HS 661 towed anti-aircraft gun; AMX-13 and AMX-30 twin self-propelled anti-aircraft guns; Flying Tiger (Biho) twin 30 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system ( South Korea ); SABRE twin turret fitted in prototype form to AMX-10RC , AMX-30 , Chieftain and Steyr chassis; MBT TCM 30 twin naval mounting; Oerlikon Contraves GCM series of twin naval mountings; DS 30 B naval mounting; Emerlec 30 twin naval mounting. KCB ammunition can also be fired by 30 mm L21 RARDEN guns and RARDEN ammunition can be fired from KCB series cannon. Oerlikon Contraves, including Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec, is now a member of Rheinmetall DeTec AG . Development When originally produced, the series of 30 mm automatic cannon now generally known as the Oerlikon Contraves 30 × 170 mm KCB series was designated the Hispano-Suiza HSS 831 L series. The designation was officially changed when Hispano-Suiza became part of Oerlikon Contraves AG but is often retained. The 30 mm cannon design involved was virtually a scaled-up version of the 20 mm Type KAD cannon and has been produced in several forms. Modified versions of the 30 × 170 mm Oerlikon ammunition family (with a longer 173 mm case) are used by the Oerlikon Contraves 30 mm KCA series of aircraft revolver cannon (see separate entry). Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG's KCB ammunition family was used as the basis for the 30 mm RARDEN gun ammunition family, although 30 mm KCB ammunition can be fired from L21 RARDEN guns. Description Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG 30 × 170 mm KCB rounds are fixed, with the steel projectiles rigidly fixed into the lacquered steel cartridge cases by crimping points which engage in cannelures on the projectile body. A single sintered iron drive band is used on the streamlined projectiles. The same 170.3 mm long necked cartridge cases are used for all types of round in the KCB family and are each filled with 160 g of an NC single-base propellant. A percussion primer is threaded into the base of the cartridge case. All types of projectile are ballistically matched and have a muzzle velocity of 1,080 m/s. Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG's 30 mm KCB ammunition family includes the following rounds: HE-I The HE-I projectile is a thin-walled steel shell pressed from a steel blank by a technique ensuring high fragmentation. The filling is 40 g of Hexal P30 which, when detonated, has been demonstrated to produce an average of 1,133 fragments (of which only 0.05 g is dust) in addition to the blast and incendiary effects. The projectile nose is largely occupied by an impact nose fuze originally known as the Type F-831-L3, now the KZC-L3. The rain safe fuze has a muzzle safety distance of 20 m and self-destructs the projectile after approximately 6 to 11 seconds. The fuze functions at a delayed interval after impact to maximise the blast and fragmentation effects in the target. The explosive filling also produces an incendiary effect. HE-I-T This projectile is much the same as the HE-I but the base of the projectile is occupied by a tracer element so the explosive filling is reduced to 25 g of Hexal P30. After firing, the tracer burns for an average of 4 seconds, during which time the projectile will have reached a range of approximately 2,700 m. SAPHEI The projectile for this round is manufactured from tempered steel and has relatively thick walls. As the nose of the shell is blunt, for armour penetration efficiency it is covered by a light aluminium windshield to maintain the correct aerodynamic outline. The base of the projectile is occupied by a base impact fuze, known as the BZC-L5, which functions after a short delay following an impact to detonate 20 g of Hexal P30 inside the target armour. In this way blast, fragmentation and incendiary effects are added to the target penetration. The fuze provides projectile self-destruct after 6 to 11 seconds. TP This training round is a hollow steel shell containing an inert material. The nose fuze is replaced by an aluminium plug, with an outline corresponding to operational KCB rounds. TP-T This uses exactly the same projectile as the TP but the rear of the shell is occupied by a tracer element. After firing, the tracer burns for an average of 4 seconds, during which time the projectile will have reached a range of approximately 2,700 m.

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Cartridge, 106 mm: HEAT, M344 and M344A1

Armament M40A1 , M40A1C and M40A2 cannon. Development The 106 mm HEAT, M344 (originally the T119E11) and M344A1 were developed for use against armoured targets. These two 106 mm (actual calibre 105 mm) rounds differ in several respects, the most obvious being the types of cartridge case and propellant employed. There are also differences in the shaped charges involved. These rounds are no longer in the US inventory but are widely utilised elsewhere. Description The 106 mm HEAT M344 and M344A1 are fixed rounds with the projectiles rigidly secured to the perforated steel cartridge cases by eight equally spaced ball-point crimps. The projectile involved has two indexing buttons 180º apart on the forward bourrelet and a smooth drive band encircles the projectile just forward of the base. The HEAT M344A1 projectile has a thin-walled steel body containing a shaped charge with 1.265 kg of Composition B inside a conical copper liner; the design of the cone differs between the two types of round. The projectile nose cone adaptor carries a threaded conical cap acting as an ogive with a piezoelectric element connected by a wire to initiate the PIBD M509A1 or M509A2 fuze in the base. An aluminium chamber threaded to the projectile base supports the PIBD fuze, six folding fins and a piston assembly used to open the fins after firing. As the projectile is fired it is propelled along the barrel. The same propelling pressure builds up inside the piston assembly, so as soon as the projectile leaves the gun muzzle the piston moves to the rear to extend the six tailfins providing in-flight stabilisation. On impact with a target the piezoelectric element generates an electrical charge to initiate the PIBD fuze and detonate the projectile charge. The resultant detonation produces a high-velocity particle jet to penetrate the target armour. The M344 round uses an M93 or M93B1 perforated steel cartridge case; the M344A1 uses an M94B1 case. All types of case have an M57 percussion primer press fitted in the base; the M57 consists of a perforated steel tube containing a black powder priming charge and a brass bead. The M344 has a propelling charge of 3.67 kg of M10 propellant while the M344A1 uses M26 double-base, multiperforated granular propellant. In both instances the charge is contained in a rayon and plastic liner. The maximum effective range of both types of round is approximately 1,350 m, although the maximum possible range can be as high as 3,000 m. Muzzle velocity is 503 m/s. The M344A1 warhead can penetrate 150 mm of armour set at an angle of 60º.

Cartridge, 105 mm: WP/Smoke, M60

Armament M101/M101A1, M102 (towed) and M108 (self-propelled) howitzers; Otobreda 105/14 Pack Howitzer (L5); RO Defence L119/M119A1 Towed Howitzer; Howitzer, Light, Towed: 105 mm KH178 ( South Korea ); Giat Industries LG1 Mk I and Mk II Light Gun and M101A1 Modernised (France); Type 75 self-propelled howitzer ( Japan ); NDSB SAKTI 105 mm Light Gun ( Malaysia ); RDM 105 mm M101/33 (Netherlands); 105 mm m/26 (Spain); T64 105 mm Howitzer ( Taiwan ); M101 Modified (Germany); 105 mm Howitzer M56 and M18/61 (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ). Development The Cartridge, 105 mm: WP/Smoke, M60 was type classified in 1972, having been adapted from a 105 mm chemical agent (H or HD) M60 projectile type classified in 1958. It is intended for the production of screening and spotting smoke and has a secondary incendiary effect. Any remaining chemical agent-filled 105 mm M60 projectiles are scheduled for destruction. Chemical-filled M60 projectiles may contain 1.44 kg of H (Mustard agent) or 1.347 kg of HD (Distilled Mustard agent) in liquid form. The UK service designation for the 105 mm WP/Smoke M60 when fired from L119 Light Guns is Round, 105 mm, How, Smoke Bursting, WP, L42A2. Description The 105 mm Cartridge WP/Smoke M60 is a semi-fixed round with the projectile being a free fit in the cartridge case, allowing free access to the propellant increments inside the case. The projectile is a hollow steel forging with a boat-tailed base and a welded base cover, a streamlined ogive and a single gilding metal driving band. The shell is fitted with a steel bush adaptor, which is brazed into position to provide a surface for sealing the forward end of the press-fitted burster casing; it also provides a well for the fuze. On the M60 the adaptor is machined to accept a tubular steel M5 burster casing located towards the base of the shell body; the burster charge is approximately 113 g of Tetrytol in pellet form. The shell filling consists of 1.737 kg of cast White Phosphorus (WP) although other smoke producing substances such as titanium tetrachloride have been employed. The shell normally operates on impact when the point detonating or MTSQ nose fuze initiates a small charge under the fuze and creates a flash to ignite the burster charge. The burster charge is sufficient to rupture the shell body to release the WP filling which, on contact with the atmosphere, creates a dense white smoke cloud. The 105 mm WP/Smoke M60 uses a steel burster casing for the M5 burster containing Tetrytol. The only fuze that can be accommodated is the PD M557. The M60A1 has a high-strength aluminium burster casing for the M53 burster containing Composition A5. Fuzes that can be used include the PD M557 and the MTSQ M564. The M60A2 is the same as the M60A1 but the burster is changed to the M53A1 . The cartridge case is of the M14 type. The standard M14 is manufactured using 70:30 brass but other materials have been used and may still be encountered; for example the M14B1 used copper-plated drawn steel while the M14B4 is a three-piece spiral-wrapped lacquered steel case. The base-mounted percussion primer is pressed into place and may be one of several types including the M1B1A2, M28A2 (brass), M28B2 (steel) or M1A2 . The cartridge case contains the M67 propelling charge. This consists of seven M1 dualgran propellant increments, packed in individually numbered cloth bags threaded together in numerical order on a length of silk or acrylic twine. Before loading, the required increments are arranged inside the case with the No 1 increment, the base charge, at the bottom and the No 7 increment located towards the case mouth. The other increments are arranged around the walls of the case and around the primer tube. Charge 1 is the base charge consisting of 238.42 g of propellant M1 (small size). Charge 2 consists of Charge 1 plus a 41.11 g increment of propellant M1 (small size). Nominal charge weight is 279.53 g. Charge 3 consists of Charge 2 plus a 70.87 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 350.4 g. Charge 4 consists of Charge 3 plus a 96.39 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 446.79 g. Charge 5 consists of Charge 4 plus a 153.09 g increment of propellant M1 (large size) and a sheet of lead which functions as a decoppering agent. Nominal charge weight is 599.88 g. Charge 6 consists of Charge 5 plus a 243.81 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 843.69 g. Charge 7 consists of Charge 6 plus a 369.89 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Total nominal charge weight is then 1.241 kg.

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/60 HE-T

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/60 HE-T

Armament All 40 mm L/60 Bofors Guns. Development The 40 mm L/60 HE-T is the base round for the entire Bofors 40 mm L/60 anti-aircraft gun family. It has its origins in a 1925 Swedish Navy requirement for a projectile that could virtually guarantee a `one hit, one kill' performance against aircraft targets. The original requirement was for a 20 mm projectile and gun but it was almost immediately realised that this calibre was too small to ensure the required performance. Bofors AB then proceeded to double the calibre of the projectile to 40 mm and developed an automatic gun to fire the ammunition. The result was the famous and widely used Bofors Gun, the 40 mm L/60, the prototype of which was first fired in 1930. The 40 mm L/60 was produced in huge numbers before and during the Second World War and still remains in front-line service with many armed forces (land and naval) to this day. The 40 mm L/60 ammunition has been produced on a corresponding scale. Over the years the basic 40 mm L/60 HE-T round has undergone many changes in filling, fuzing, propellant and materials but remains much the same in appearance as the original design. The following Description outlines the current Bofors AB data. For many years 40 mm L/60 HE-T ammunition was produced by LIAB (Lindesbergs Industri AB) which became part of Bofors AB. The 40 mm L/60 HE-T round is still in production and remains available from Bofors on request. Many other manufacturers produce the round on a regular basis, often referring to it as HE-I or HE-I-T. Although 40 mm L/60 HE-T rounds were made in huge quantities in the USA for many years, during and since the Second World War, they are no longer in production in that nation other than to special order. Description The 40 mm L/60 HE-T is a fixed round with a brass cartridge case and a streamlined boat-tailed projectile, the body is made of a special high-fragmentation steel. The cartridge case is crimped rigidly to the projectile by one or two 360º crimping bands; weapons using automatic feed systems or guns with increased rate of fire modifications should use double-crimped ammunition. A copper drive band (gilding metal has been used) encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. Rounds are usually fed into the gun in four-round charger clips. The Bofors 40 mm L/60 HE-T projectile is filled with 92 g of Hexotonal, comprising 42 per cent TNT, 40 per cent RDX, 15 per cent aluminium powder and 3 per cent desensitiser. Many other fillings have been used, for example the US HE-T, SD, MV2 700 contains approximately 63.5 g of tetryl. The base of the projectile contains a tracer element which burns for 5 seconds after firing. The nose of the projectile may be threaded to accept fuzes with UK, US and Bofors threads. Typical Swedish fuzes for the 40 mm L/60 HE-T include the Type LI 460 PD, which functions against 2 mm dural at impact velocities as low as 350 m/s and self-destructs after 12 seconds (on some HE-T projectiles the end of the tracer burn initiates the self-destruct process). The LI 460 PD uses a UK fuze well thread. The similar LI 462 PD has Bofors threads while the LI 463 PD has US threads. All three fuzes have a tropical rain safety. The LI 465 is similar but will delay arming until the projectile has travelled 55 m. The LI 466 PD also has the arming device plus an integral post-impact device that delays detonation by 0.3 µs; The LI 473 is generally similar. The brass cartridge case, which can be reused several times if required, has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with a percussion primer with a sinoxide detonator. Propellant loads vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but the Bofors AB HE-T uses approximately 320 g of NC 1066 single-base low-erosion propellant, producing a muzzle velocity of 860 m/s. As a further rough guide to other similar HE-T rounds, the US MK 2 or MK 3 cartridge case contains approximately 326 g of M1 propellant. This produces a muzzle velocity of 879 m/s. The training equivalent to the 40 mm L/60 HE-T is the 40 mm L/60 TP or TP-T. It has the same ballistic, weight and dimensional characteristics as the HE-T but either lacks any filling or is filled with an inert HE substitute. It is fitted with an inert or dummy PD fuze. The US 40 mm TP-T is the Cartridge, 40 mm: TP-T, M91 . Drill rounds are available, for example the US Cartridge, 40 mm: Dummy, M25.

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/60 AP-T

Armament All 40 mm L/60 Bofors Guns. Development The 40 mm L/60 AP-T round was originally developed just prior to or during the Second World War, providing the Bofors 40 mm L/60 anti-aircraft gun with a capability to defeat armoured land targets. It is still deployed to penetrate the protection carried by many modern strike aircraft and helicopters. Description The 40 mm L/60 AP-T round has the same ballistic properties as the 40 mm L/60 HE-T but does not carry explosive or fuze. The penetrator is made from forged hardened steel with a nose cap of cold rolled steel and it is provided with a copper drive band. The nose of the penetrator is covered by a thin steel windshield crimped onto the penetrator body, or joined to it by an adaptor to provide a smooth streamlined outline. The base of the penetrator is machined to accept a tracer element which burns for at least 4 seconds after firing. The cartridge case is crimped rigidly to the projectile by one or two 360º crimping bands; weapons using automatic feed systems or guns with increased rate of fire modifications should use double-crimped ammunition. The brass cartridge case, which can be reused several times if required, has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with a percussion primer with a sinoxide detonator. Propellant loads vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the Bofors 40 mm L/60 AP-T uses approximately 320 g of NC 1066 single-base low-erosion propellant, producing a muzzle velocity of 860 m/s. As a further rough guide to other similar 40 mm L/60 AP-T rounds, the US M81 and M81A1 AP-T round cartridge case (the M25 or M25B1) contains approximately 295 g of M1 propellant. This produces a muzzle velocity of 875 m/s. On impact with the target the steel windshield crumples to allow the penetrator to pierce the target armour. The Bofors 40 mm L/60 AP-T can penetrate 40 mm of armour plate set at an angle of 60º at a distance of 100 to 150 m.

Development The 105 mm Cartridge HE M1 is one of the oldest serving of all modern artillery rounds, as its origins can be traced back to the Westervelt Board convened by the USA in 1919 to report on the lessons of the Great War. The advisory board recommended the development of a 105 mm howitzer, later accepted for service as the M1 in 1928. After further development the 105 mm M1 howitzer reached the M2 stage which was accepted for mass production along with an associated round, the HE M1. When the M2 howitzer was later redesignated the M101 , the HE round remained the M1. The 105 mm HE M1 served the US armed forces from 1941 onwards and is still in service with them, their latest weapon procured to fire the 105 mm HE M1 being the Royal Ordnance (now BAE Systems , RO Defence) M119A1 Towed Howitzer. The 105 mm HE M1 continues to serve with many other nations and is still widely produced, having attained the distinction of virtually becoming the `standard' 105 mm HE round. Metal parts for US 105 mm HE M1 projectiles are manufactured at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant operated by Chamberlain Manufacturing. The UK service designation for the 105 mm HE M1 when fired from L119 Light Guns is Round, 105 mm, How, HE L41A2. The M1 (Mod) round for the USAF is made by converting standard M1 rounds under contract from the US Army Operations Support Command. In October 2001 the Army announced a requirement for the conversion of 49,998 rounds. Description The 105 mm Cartridge HE M1 is a semi-fixed round with the projectile being a free fit in the cartridge case to allow free access to the propellant increments inside the case. The projectile is a hollow high-tensile steel forging with a boat-tailed base and a welded base cover, a streamlined ogive and a single gilding metal driving band. The projectile may have either a normal or deep cavity, formed or drilled into the explosive filling beneath the fuze well to accept whatever fuze is to be employed. For example a deep cavity projectile for long intrusion fuzes may be loaded with 2.087 kg of Composition B or 1.93 kg of cast TNT, plus a supplementary charge consisting of 136 g of TNT pressed into an aluminium liner found below the nose-located fuze well. Shells have been filled with RDX/WX6 or RDX/WX8. Normal cavity projectiles are packed either with a fuze or a closing plug in place of a fuze. Deep cavity projectiles may be packed with the supplementary charge and a fuze, the supplementary charge and a closing plug, or with a closing plug only. A groundburst detonation of a 105 mm HE M1 projectile will result in a lethal area covering from 288 to 290 m 2 . The cartridge case is of the M14 type. The standard M14 is manufactured using 70:30 brass but other materials have been used and may still be encountered; for instance the M14B1 used copper-plated drawn steel while the M14B4 is a three-piece spiral wrapped lacquered steel case. The base-mounted percussion primer is pressed into place and may be one of several types including the M1B1A2, M28A2 (brass), M28B2 (steel) or M1A2 . The primers most commonly encountered are the M28A2 (containing 150 g of black powder) and the M28B2 (122.5 g). The cartridge case contains the M67 propelling charge. This consists of seven M1 dualgrain propellant increments packed in individually numbered cloth bags, threaded together in numerical order on a length of silk or acrylic twine. (Older types of charges used single-granulation M1 propellant). Before loading, the required increments are arranged inside the case with the No 1 increment, the base charge, at the bottom and the No 7 increment located towards the case mouth. The others are arranged around the walls of the case and around the primer tube. Charge 1 is the base charge consisting of 238.42 g of propellant M1 (small size). Charge 2 consists of Charge 1 plus a 41.11 g increment of propellant M1 (small size). Nominal charge weight is 279.53 g. Charge 3 consists of Charge 2 plus a 70.87 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 350.4 g. Charge 4 consists of Charge 3 plus a 96.39 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 446.79 g. Charge 5 consists of Charge 4 plus a 153.09 g increment of propellant M1 (large size) and a sheet of lead which functions as a decoppering agent. Nominal charge weight is 599.88 g. Charge 6 consists of Charge 5 plus a 243.81 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Nominal charge weight is 843.69 g. Charge 7 consists of Charge 6 plus a 369.89 g increment of propellant M1 (large size). Total nominal charge weight is then 1.241 kg. Ballistic data for the 105 mm HE M1 when fired from M101/M101A1 howitzers is as follows: Charge 1 - MV 198.1 m/s - max range 3,510 m Charge 2 - MV 216.4 m/s - max range 4,110 m Charge 3 - MV 237.7 m/s - max range 4,860 m Charge 4 - MV 266.7 m/s - max range 5,950 m Charge 5 - MV 310.9 m/s - max range 7,650 m Charge 6 - MV 376.4 m/s - max range 9,380 m Charge 7 - MV 472.4 m/s - max range 11,270 m. Ballistic data for the 105 mm HE M1 when fired from M102 howitzers is as follows: Charge 1 - MV 205 m/s - max range 3,700 m Charge 2 - MV 223 m/s - max range 4,300 m Charge 3 - MV 247 m/s - max range 5,200 m Charge 4 - MV 278 m/s - max range 6,300 m Charge 5 - MV 325 m/s - max range 8,100 m Charge 6 - MV 393 m/s - max range 9,600 m Charge 7 - MV 494 m/s - max range 11,500 m. Range data for the L119/M119A1 Towed Howitzer when firing the 105 mm HE M1 is as follows: Charge 1 - range 1,800 to 3,400 m Charge 2 - range 2,100 to 4,100 m Charge 3 - range 2,600 to 4,800 m Charge 4 - range 4,100 to 6,300 m Charge 5 - range 4,200 to 7,900 m Charge 6 - range 5,000 to 9,500 m Charge 7 - range 6,200 to 11,500 m. The training round used most commonly as the equivalent to the 105 mm HE M1 is the Cartridge, 105 mm, TP, M67. The projectile used with this round (which is painted blue) contains 1.76 kg of an inert explosive substitute and is fitted with a dummy fuze. The complete round weighs 16.81 kg and the maximum muzzle velocity is 381 m/s. A TP-T version of the M67 has been produced. A completely inert drill round is known as the Cartridge, 105 mm: Dummy, M14 . It cannot be fired and is fitted with a PD Dummy M59 fuze. RO Defence produce Shell, 105 mm, How, Practice Flash Indicating RO 37-05 for practice firing as the equivalent of the HE M1 projectile. The RO 37-05 is hollow and uses a Flash Indicator Unit B118 in the base to produce flash and smoke for spotting purposes on impact. See separate entry for details. The M1 (Mod) round is created by reworking M1 rounds in the US Army inventory for use in USAF AC-130 gunships. The M14B4 cartridge case is removed and replaced by an M14 brass case, propellant replaced as needed after inspection and an FMU-153/B PD/delay fuze installed. Authorised fuzes The following are for use with M101/M101A1, M102 (towed) and M108 (self-propelled) howitzers: PD - M51A5, M78 series, M439, M508 series, M535, M557, M739 MTSQ - M520 series, M500 series, M564, M582 Prox - M513 series, M728 (both require removal of the supplementary charge, if present, and cannot be fired using Charge 7), M732 The M1 (Mod) round used in AC-130 gunships employs the FMU-153/B PD/delay fuze.

Giat 105 mm HE - OE 105 F1

Armament CN105F1 series tank guns; 105 mm 105 G2 gun; 105 mm 105 G1 gun; all 105 mm L7, Rh 105 and M68 series tank guns and South African GT7 tank gun. Development The 105 mm HE OE 105 F1 is a general purpose high-explosive shell. It is stated to have a similar on-target performance to the US 105 mm HE M1, scattering fragments over a lethal radius of 15 to 20 m. The OE 105 F1 has been referred to as the OC 105 or OE Mle 60, and is sometimes designated as a Fragmentation round. This round is no longer in production. Description The 105 mm HE OE 105 F1 is a fixed round, with the projectile rigidly secured to the brass or steel cartridge case by a single crimping ring. This engages in a pronounced cannelure on the projectile just to the rear of the copper or gilding metal drive band. The projectile, sometimes referred to as the OE Mle 60, is steel and is filled with 2 kg of Hexolite 50:50. A point detonating FUI 56 fuze is threaded into the nose fuze well; the PD M51 may also be used. The round uses an Mle F2 brass or steel cartridge case (of the M148 or M150 type - length 617 mm) with a TPA electrical primer in the base. The charge is a nominal 2.4 kg of multiperforated LB-7 T-70 single-base propellant. The propellant load produces a muzzle velocity of 700 m/s. The reduced power round uses a shorter (531 mm) brass or steel cartridge case with straight sides. It uses the same propellant charge so that the resultant muzzle velocity is also 700 m/s. The 105 mm HE OE 105 F1 produces a muzzle velocity of 700 m/s and has the following ballistic characteristics: Range Time of flight Remaining velocity 1,000 m 1.54 s 601 m/s 1,500 m 2.4 s 555 m/s 2,000 m 3.34 s 512 m/s 2,500 m 4.36 s 470 m/s A practice round known as the PLPN is produced as the training equivalent for the OE 105 F1.

0.22 in Long Rifle

Synonyms 5.5 × 15R Armament All 0.22 rifles and pistols except those specifically chambered for 0.22 Short cartridges. Development The 0.22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge was developed in 1887 by the J Stevens Arms & Tool Company of the USA. The existing 0.22 Long cartridge was used and fitted with a 0.324 g powder charge and a 2.59 g lead bullet instead of the conventional 1.88 g bullet. It was probably first commercially manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company in 1888. The first high-velocity loadings were developed by Remington in 1930. Over the years it has become the most highly developed and accurate of all rimfire cartridges, and is generally found with either 2.59 g solid lead or 2.4 g hollow point bullets, although innumerable variations can be found. In military hands this cartridge is almost invariably used for training purposes, though clandestine agencies, resistance forces, Special Forces and similar organisations use it in combat roles where the low signature and accuracy were of particular value. A recent development in .22 Long Rifle technology is prefragmented bullets driven at hyper velocity. These prefragmented bullets separate into three equal components upon impact, thereby increasing wounding capability. This patented .22 Long Rifle cartridge is marketed under the trade name "Quik-Shok". (See USA manufacturers) Description The cartridge case is rimmed and usually of brass, copper- or brass-plated steel. The priming composition is distributed around the rim, therefore the ductility of this area is critical. Bullets are of lead, occasionally with a light plating of copper and usually with lubricating cannelures, although lubricant may not always be present. Round-nose or hollow point bullets are the normal types.

5.56 × 45 mm

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Armament Suitably chambered rifles, machine guns or carbines. The SS109/M855 cartridge will have degraded accuracy in firearms having a twist rate of 1:305 mm. Development The 5.56 × 45 mm cartridge was derived from the 0.222 Remington during development of the Armalite AR-15 rifle that was subsequently adopted by the US military as the M16 . Original prototypes of the AR-15 were in 0.222 Remington calibre, but during testing in 1957, the army raised the ballistics requirements, necessitating a change in the cartridge. Eugene Stoner personally calculated the bullet weight and muzzle velocity necessary in order to achieve the army's requirements and decided that a slightly enlarged cartridge case was necessary, in addition to a heavier bullet. Stoner commissioned Remington to produce the cartridges with 3.56 g (55 grain) bullets, which were designated 0.222 Remington Special. The 0.222 Remington Special cartridge was officially adopted by the US Army in 1964 as the 5.56 × 45 mm M193 . This cartridge was subsequently marketed commercially by Remington for sporting rifles as the 0.223 Remington. The 5.56 × 45 mm M193 cartridge was the standard US military rifle cartridge until introduction of the M855 ( SS109 ) cartridge in 1984. Because of the widespread use of the M16 and other rifles intended for use with the 3.56 g bullet, the M193 is still produced in large quantities worldwide. The M193 may be safely fired from rifles chambered for the SS109 cartridge. As a result of extensive tests which were carried out from 1976 to 1979, the 5.56 × 45 mm cartridge was standardised for NATO use, but with a heavier 4 g (62 grain) bullet designed by FN Herstal. This cartridge was designated SS109 in Europe and M855 when it was adopted by the US in 1984. The SS109 cartridge proved to actually outperform the 7.62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge in penetration tests and was more accurate than the M193 . The new cartridge did, however require a faster (1:178 mm) rifling twist rate to stabilise its heavier bullet. The faster twist rate will also stablise the M193 bullet, but the slower 1:305 mm rifling twist rate of older rifles will not properly stabilise the SS109/M855 bullets and SS109 cartridges fired in rifles having a 1:305 mm twist rate will have degraded accuracy. Many rifles presently use an intermediate twist rate of 1:228 mm that stabilises either M193 or SS109 bullets. Because the 5.56 × 45 mm cartridge has achieved such widespread use in so many types of small arms, from suppressed sub-machine gun sized carbines to long-range heavy rifles, a large number of manufacturers now produce cartridges for tactical use ranging in bullet weight from 3.36 g to 8.4 g. The latter are subsonic cartridges intended for use in suppressed CQB weapons at ranges of 50 m or less. Military match and sniper rifles use 5.56 × 45 mm cartridges with bullets which range in weight from 4 g to 4.8 g. The variety of 5.56 × 45 mm cartridges for military use can be appreciated by scanning the cartridges available from various manufacturers. Concerns over heavy metal contamination in the United States have resulted in the development of new cartridges with steel and copper cores and lead-free primers rather than the traditional steel- and lead-cored bullets. Despite the proliferation of specialised 5.56 × 45 mm cartridges, the two primary 5.56 × 45 mm cartridges in military use today remain the M193 and SS109 . For this reason, we will provide abbreviated ballistics only for these two variants of the 5.56 × 45 mm. The reader is cautioned that due to differences in manufacturing and national specifications, not all 5.56 × 45 mm military cartridges can be safely chambered and fired in every rifle that is nominally chambered for that calibre. This is especially the case with sporting rifles in 5.56 × 45 mm/0.223 Remington calibre. Ammunition manufactured to NATO specification can, of course, be used in any rifle chambered in 5.56 × 45 mm NATO. Description The case is rimless and bottlenecked and, usually, is made of brass, although steel and plastic cases are occasionally encountered. Cases may be either Boxer or Berdan primed. Military bullets are streamlined with a crimping cannelure. Bullets may be found with lead cores ( M193 ) or lead and steel cores ( SS109 ). Other bullet shapes and weights may be encountered (due to the large variety of cartridges available), but these are the primary ones.

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 9 mm Browning Short ; 9 mm Kurz; 9 mm Corto; 0.380 Auto; 0.380 ACP Armament All pistols chambered for 9 × 17 mm or any of the synonyms shown above. The cartridge has also been tried in one or two sub-machine guns, without much success. Development Introduced by Colt in the USA in 1908 as the 0.380 Auto Pistol round. In 1910 it was adopted by Fabrique National Herstal for its Model 1910 pistol. FN coined the name `Browning Short' to distinguish it from the existing 9 mm Browning cartridge, which thereafter became the `Browning Long'. Widely adopted by central European police forces from the outset, the 9 × 17 mm went into use as a military cartridge in the 1920s, notably by Czechoslovakia and Italy. It is still widely used by police and security forces and is particularly applicable as an airline security round. It combines adequate stopping power with a velocity low enough to reduce the risk of overpenetration or ricochet, especially when frangible ammunition is used. Description A rimless, straight taper, brass case with Berdan or Boxer priming. There are numerous designs of bullet, mostly soft point in order to improve the stopping ability, but the military/police standard is a metal jacketed, lead-cored, round-nose bullet of 6.15 g weight. Frangible bullets have recently been introduced for this cartridge.

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 0.45 Auto Colt ; 0.45 Automatic; 11.43 × 23 mm Norwegian Colt Armament Colt M1911 , M1911A1 semi-automatic pistols and pistols based on the original M1911 design; Smith & Wesson, Star, Obregon, Hafdasa, Heckler and Koch and many other pistols; Smith & Wesson and Colt M1917 revolvers; Thompson, Reising, M2, M3 and M3A1 sub-machine guns; De Lisle silent carbine; other police carbines. Development Originally developed by John Browning in 1905, this cartridge was approved by the US Ordnance in 1911 along with the Colt pistol. It was the standard military pistol cartridge in the USA until the adoption of the 9 × 19 mm Parabellum round in 1985 and is still in general use. It continues as the standard pistol calibre for US special operations forces, particularly in its +P loading. The cartridge is also used by many US police agencies. The 0.45 ACP was adopted by Norway and several Central and South American countries and has been used by the UK and Commonwealth forces at various times. A popular commercial round, weapons continue to be made for it in many countries. Despite adoption of the 9 × 19 mm cartridge by the US military, American special operations forces continue to use pistols in this calibre. Description A rimless, straight-taper case which may be of brass, aluminium, or steel, Boxer or Berdan primed. An enormous variety of bullets has been developed for this round, but the standard military loading has always been a 15.16 g lead-cored, full metal jacket round-nosed type.

0.38 Special

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 0.38 Smith & Wesson Special Armament Suitably chambered revolvers. Development This was developed by Smith & Wesson in about 1900 as a possible military round, before the US Army decided that 0.45 was the minimum calibre it would consider for pistols. It was placed on commercial sale in 1902 and attained considerable popularity with police and as a sporting and target round. At one time revolvers in 0.38 Special were widely used in the US military for aircrew and military police, but they have been largely replaced by 9 × 19 mm pistols. Revolvers in this calibre continue to be widely used by police, especially for plainclothes work in the higher-powered 'Plus P' loadings. Description A rimmed, straight-taper case, brass, nickel-plated brass, or aluminium. Boxer or Berdan primed. Various bullets can be found with soft point predominating. The US military standard Ball M41 uses an FMJ type weighing 8.55 g.

Synonyms 20 mm M24 ; 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS 404/804 Armament Hispano-Suiza HS404, HS804, Mk II and Mk V guns; US M3, M24 and M24A1 guns; UK Mks 2 and 5; Israel TCM-20 ; Yugoslav M55 guns. Development This cartridge was used extensively by the UK and USA during the Second World War and large numbers of these guns are still in use. Both countries produced the same range of cartridges in this chambering as that produced for the Oerlikon guns. The projectiles were exactly the same, only the cartridge case and propelling charge differed. Description The ammunition is almost identical to the 20 × 110RB Oerlikon, but the case is a rimless type rather than a rebated rimless. European manufactured ammunition uses Berdan primers, while the US M21 , M21A1 and M21A1B1 cases use a Boxer primer. In post-war years the US Air Force developed electrically primed ammunition in this chambering for use in the M24 gun. It was prominently marked `ELECTRIC' on the side of the cartridge case, and the primer cap exhibits a ring of black insulating material around it. Other nations have adopted electric priming, although the presence of the insulating material is often the only indication. Projectiles resemble those developed for the Oerlikon 20 × 110RB gun. They are notable for having the explosive cavity reduced in diameter at the rear, in order to better resist the crushing action set up by the driving band during its passage up the gun bore. For this reason the tracer recess is smaller.

Synonyms 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS 820 Armament Hispano-Suiza HS820; Oerlikon KAD, KAD-B; Rheinmetall Rh202; US M139 ; French M693/F2; Mauser Model B. Development Developed by Hispano-Suiza in the late 1940s as a more powerful replacement for the wartime 20 × 110 mm round. The new weapon which accompanied it, the HS820 gun, became one of the most successful 20 mm designs ever made and was widely purchased throughout the world as an aircraft and ground weapon. As a result of this wide distribution the cartridge was adopted by other designers who developed suitable guns, notably the German Rheinmetall Rh202, the French M693 and the US M139 . Description The rimless, bottlenecked case may be of steel or brass and is percussion primed. A wide variety of projectiles has been made across the years, but those listed below are the current manufacturing standards. Propelling charges are generally regulated to give a muzzle velocity of 1,040 m/s in a 95 calibre barrel.

Within these tubes are a number of heavy metal balls. The nose of the shell is closed by a ballistic cap. The shell base contains a striker, cap and delay element. On firing, gas pressure drives the striker forward to fire the cap and ignite the delay. After about 40 ms the delay ignites the ejection charge. The ejection tube is then forced forward; this presses on the extension tube which shears off the shell nose cap and allows the two tubes and the shot to be ejected. The extension tube is prefragmented and shatters to add to the effect. The ejection tube is retarded, permitting the balls to fly free on a cone with an angle of about 3º.

Synonyms 7.62 mm NATO; 0.308 Winchester Armament All weapons chambered to NATO standard dimensions; notably FN FAL, G3, M14 , BM59 rifles, FN MAG, L4, MG3, M60 machine guns. Development The 7.62 × 51 mm cartridge was devised in the early 1950s as a compromise between the full-sized 0.30-06 and a proposed British 7 mm round; it is little more than the 0.30-06 with a shortened case. Improvements in powder technology allowed the new round to essentially retain the same ballistics as the 0.30-06. Despite this, many of its competitors were far more advanced. The USA used its considerable influence to override all allied objections and the 7.62 × 51 mm was made NATO standard. The 7.62 mm NATO cartridge is too powerful to be a practical assault rifle round, resulting in development of the 5.56 × 45 mm cartridge only a few years after its adoption. The 7.62 mm NATO cartridge remains in wide distribution for use in general purpose machine guns and sniper rifles. Description The case is rimless and bottlenecked, brass or lacquered steel, Berdan or Boxer primed. Cartridges manufactured to the relevant NATO specification will be marked with a cross-in-circle symbol on the head, forming part of the national pattern of headstamp. The standard ball bullet is lead-antimony cored in a GMCS jacket.

9 × 19 mm Parabellum

Synonyms 9 × 19 mm; 9 mm Luger; 9 mm Patrone '08 Armament Any pistol marked `9 × 19', `9 mm Luger' or any other synonym; the more notable being the Parabellum (Luger), Browning GP35, Beretta 92, SIG P225 and so on, and pistols by Astra, Bernardelli, Star, FEG, Walther, Heckler and Koch, Smith & Wesson, Ruger and many others. Also the predominant sub-machine gun cartridge throughout the world. It has been used in revolvers (Ruger, Smith & Wesson and Manurhin, for example) and semi-automatic carbines (Marlin), though in lesser numbers. It has recently been designated by Russia as a replacement for the 9 × 18 mm. Development Developed in 1902 by Georg Luger in order to improve the stopping power of his pistol; the mouth of the 7.62 mm Parabellum case was widened and a 9 mm bullet was inserted to meet German Navy demand. It was adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and by the army in 1908. In its original form it used a cylindro-conoidal bullet with a flat tip. This showed a tendency to jam in early sub-machine guns and was replaced during 1917 with an ogival-shaped bullet which has remained the military standard; bullets of the original shape are still available commercially. Since its introduction, the 9 mm Parabellum has been universally accepted and manufactured all over the world, with the exception of the former Warsaw Pact countries, but most of these have also undertaken its production for commercial reasons and some are now producing pistols in this calibre. In January 2000, even the People's Republic of China announced the adoption of an indigenously designed 9x19mm pistol and a special high penetration cartridge for it, also an indigenous design. Description A rimless, straight taper case with Berdan or Boxer priming; due to its broad-based manufacture brass, steel, aluminium and alloy cases have been made and every sort of bullet has been tried. The military standard is a conventional lead-cored bullet, steel jacketed with gilding metal envelope and an ogival head pattern, weighing 7.45 g.

Although the bullet is the standard lead-cored FMJ pattern, the primer cap has a special non-toxic composition which has minimal emission of lead and barium, thus considerably reducing the health hazard common with indoor ranges. 8 g; MV 385±15 m/s Subsonic: For use in silenced arms; FMJ; lead-antimony core, steel jacket with gilding metal envelope; 9.5 g; MV 300±15 m/s fired in MP5SD sub-machine gun. Quick Defence 1 (QD 1): This is a special bullet intended to open out very rapidly on impact, delivering maximum energy as quickly as possible. The bullet is of gilding metal, and is virtually a hollow point type with a ball placed in the mouth of the hollow. The shape thus resembles the normal ogive and feeds through automatic weapons without causing problems. On impact the ball is driven back into the hollow, spreading the walls of the bullet to give a greater impact area. 5.2 g; MV 440±15 m/s Quick Defence 2 (QD 2): This is similar to the QD 1 round described previously but is designed so that the deformation of the bullet and hence the energy transfer is somewhat less; 6.0 g; gilding metal bullet; MV V 10 420±15 m/s QD Tracer: 6.3 g; MV 44±15 m/s; red trace to 50-70 m QD - PEP satisfies German Police Technical Specifications; 5/9 g; V 3 420 m/s GREECE Manufacturer PYRKAL: Greek Powder & Cartridge Company Type: Ball: FMJ, ogival; 8 g; MV 330 m/s HUNGARY Manufacturer Mátravidéki Fémmüvek Type: Ball: FMJ, cylindro-conoidal; 8 g; MV 360 m/s Ball: FMJ, ogival; 8 g; MV 360 m/s INDIA Manufacturer Indian Ordnance Factory Khadki Type: Ball Mark 2Z: FMJ, ogival; 7.45 g; MV 396± 15 m/s at 18.5 m INDONESIA Manufacturer Pindad Ball MU-1TJ : FMJ; 8 g; V 12.5 380 m/s Ball MU-1SS ; FMJ; 10.14 g; V 12.5 300 m/s Blank MU-1H: sound level min 90 dB Anti Riot MU-1PHH: Plastic/Rubber Bullet; 0.75 g; V 10 200 m/s IRAN Manufacturer State Ammunition Industries Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 385 m/s ISRAEL Manufacturer Israel Military Industries ( IMI ) Type: Carbine ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 420 m/s Carbine tracer: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 420 m/s Pistol ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 325 m/s Subsonic ball: FMJ; 10.24 g; MV 286 m/s Subsonic ball: FMJ; 8.04 g; MV 314 m/s Pistol ball special: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 384 m/s Pistol ball +P: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 450 m/s Carbine ball +P: JHP; 7.45 g; MV 430 m/s Carbine ball +P: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 420 m/s Luger ball: JHP; 7.45 g; MV 354 m/s Luger ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 343 m/s Manufacturer Kalia Israel Cartridge Company Ltd Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 335 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 351 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 370 m/s ITALY Manufacturer Europa Metalli Type: Ball: FMJ; lead core; 7.5 g; MV 380 m/s Manufacturer Fiocchi Munizioni SpA Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 415 m/s Ball: FMJ; 8 g; MV 390 m/s Ball: Lead; 8 g; MV 322 m/s Manufacturer Government arsenals Type: Ball M38: FMJ; 8 g; MV 305 m/s KOREA, SOUTH Manufacturer Poongsan Metal Corporation Type: Ball 9A: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 353 m/s Ball 9B: JHP; 7.45 g; MV 356 m/s MALAYSIA Manufacturer SME Ordnance SDN BHD Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 396 m/s MEXICO Manufacturer Aguila Industrias Tecnos Type: Ball: FMJ; 8.03 g; MV 340 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 381 m/s PAKISTAN Manufacturer Pakistan Ordnance Factories Type: Ball 2Z: FMJ; ? g; MV 395 m/s POLAND Manufacturer Zaklady Metalowe (Mesko) Type: Ball: FMJ, ogival; 8 g; MV 350 m/s Ball: JSP; 8 g; MV 350 m/s PORTUGAL Manufacturer INDEP Type: Ball M347: FMJ; lead core; 7.45 g; MV 396 m/s Ball M419: FMJ; lead core, hardened steel jacket; 8 g; MV 396 m/s Ball, luger: FMJ; lead core; 8 g; MV 392 m/s Ball, training, M420: Ogival lead; 7.45 g; MV 377 m/s Manufacturer Prvi Partizan Type: Ball: FMJ; 8 g; MV 390 m/s Ball: FMJ; 8 g; MV 365 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.5 g; MV 407 m/s ROMANIA Manufacturer Arsenalul Armatel Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45g; MV 380m/s Manufacturer SN ROMARM SA Type: Ball: FMJ; 7 g; MV 380 m/s Ball: FMJ; 8 g; MV 380 m/s Manufacturer Romtehnica Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 380 m/s RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND ASSOCIATED STATES (CIS) Manufacturer JSC Barnaul Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.5 g; MV 370 m/s Manufacturer JSC LVE (Novosibirsk Low Voltage Equipment Works) Type: Ball: 8.8 g; V25 350 m/s Manufacturer Tula Cartridge Works Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.46 g; V10 358 m/s SLOVAKIA Manufacturer Povazské strojárne Povzbroj Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.5 g; V 12.5 360 m/s Manufacturer Technopol, Military and Police Group Type: Ball: FMJ; 6.15 g; V 25 389 m/s Ball: FMJ; 6.15 g; V 25 397 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.5 g; V 25 348 m/s Ball FP: FMJ Flat Point; 7.5 g; V 25 350 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.5 g; V 25 349 m/s Ball LFN: Lead Flat Nose; 7.8 g; V 25 337 m/s Ball: FMJ; 8 g; V 25 341 m/s Ball FP: FMJ Flat Point; 8 g; V 25 345 m/s Ball: FMJ; 8 g; V 25 357 m/s SOUTH AFRICA Manufacturer Denel (Pty) Ltd Type: Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 401 m/s Manufacturer PMP Type: Ball: FMJ; 6.16 g; MV 405 m/s Ball: FMJ; 7.45 g; MV 349 m/s Tracer: FMJ; 6.95 g; MV 386 m/s Blank: Rosette crimp Subsonic: 8.13 g; MV 340 m/s MONAD: FMJ, plastic ogive 3.5 g; MV 575 m/s.

Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

Synonyms 12.7 × 99 mm Armament Browning M2 and M2 HB machine guns; M85 machine gun; also used in Barrett, Harris and similar anti-materiel rifles; CIS 50MG. Development This cartridge was developed in the 1920s. Its design was greatly influenced by the German 13 mm Tank und Flieger (TuF) machine gun round. The 0.50 Browning gun was originally devised as an anti-aircraft weapon, but during 1940 to 1945 it achieved prominence as an aircraft, tank and infantry support gun. Since then it has been widely distributed and adopted by almost every country outside the former Soviet Bloc. Ammunition has been manufactured in many countries but largely to US specifications, although since the 1970s several manufacturers have developed more potent rounds of their own design. The basic design was intended to extract as much performance as possible and there is not a great deal of room for improvement, except in the development of complex bullets to improve terminal effects. With the advent of widespread use of anti-matérial rifles worldwide, several manufacturers have developed match grade ammunition for use in these weapons. This ammunition is manufactured to a higher level of precision and achieves far greater accuracy than most ammunition manufactured for use in machine guns. Description A rimless, brass, bottlenecked case, Berdan or Boxer primed. The standard bullet is ball, using a steel core in lead support, steel jacket and gilding metal envelope. In view of the tactical use of this weapon, AP-I and similar bullets with better terminal effects are used more commonly today.

Will effectively penetrate up to 40 mm RHA or 20 mm HHA plates at various angles and ranges. Post-armour effect is significant API 2000: Similar armour-defeating performance to the AP 2000 but with added incendiary effect NORWAY Manufacturer Nammo Raufoss A/S Type: Multipurpose NM140: The exterior of this round conforms to the standard US M2 Ball, but the bullet is a design patented by Nammo Raufoss which incorporates penetrative, incendiary and fragmentation effects. NM140 will defeat 16 mm of armour (Brinell 360) at 30º at 400 m; after penetration it will explode and produce about 20 effective fragments inside the target. There will also be a shower of incendiary particles which are still effective 15 m behind the target plate. No mechanical fuze is used because the need for detonators or sensitive high explosives has been eliminated. Muzzle velocity 900 m/s, bullet weight 43 g Multipurpose NM140A1: Similar to the NM140 but with some minor changes to meet a US Navy specification Multipurpose Tracer NM160: This is the NM140 but with the addition of a base tracer element. The inclusion of this reduces the effective fragmentation by about 30 per cent but does not affect the penetrative or incendiary performance. The tracer is a dark ignition type which is invisible to 50 m from the muzzle, fully visible from 200-1,500 m AP-S NM173: Ballistic conformity compares to US Ball M2 but is characterised by tremendous penetration effect. Penetration of 20 mm armour plate at 0º NATO at 1,000 m and 11 mm armour plate at 30º NATO at 1,500 m AP-S NM185: Similar to the NM173 with identical armour piercing capabilities but is inert PAKISTAN Manufacturer Pakistan Ordnance Factories Type: AP-I: FMJ; hard core; incendiary filling in nose; ? g; MV 833 m/s AP-I-T: FMJ; hard core; incendiary and tracer fillings; ? g; MV 818 m/s ROMANIA Manufacturer S.N.

As a combined pylon and launcher unit, the PMEL is currently designed for use under the fuselage on modern high-performance fighter jets to reduce weight and frontal cross section. PMEL is not subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) export rules, making it an ITAR-free solution for high-performance ejection of air-to-air missiles.Read More
