The 90 mm Canister M336 is a fixed round with a canister projectile crimped into a brass cartridge case. A single gilding metal drive band encircles the canister base. The canister projectile has a thin steel cylindrical body welded to a heavy cup-shaped base. The blunt-nosed body has four equally spaced axial grooves extending from the forward edge of the canister body along about half its length. The body interior is filled with 1,281 stacked steel pellets or slugs, each weighing approximately 0.5 g, held in
place by a soldered closing disc. When the gun is fired the canister body is propelled along the barrel. As it emerges from the gun muzzle, air pressure on the closing disc and the centrifugal forces acting on the body combine to cause the canister to break open along the four axial grooves. The steel pellets are then free to disperse across a conical angle of approximately 9º. The maximum effective range of the pellets is 183 m. The 90 mm Canister M336 round uses a brass M108B1 rimmed cartridge case with an M58 percussion primer press fitted to the base. The propelling charge is 3.63 kg of M2 propellant. The 90 mm Canister M336 anti-personnel round uses a canister projectile filled with steel pellets for anti-personnel use at short ranges. It is no longer widely used but apparently still available for production, on request, from Makina ve Kimya Endüstrisi Kurumu ( MKEK ) of Turkey. Applications include m36 Cannon on M47 series MBTs; M41 Cannon on M48 series MBTs up to (and including) M48A3.
