130 mm FRAG-HE OF-482M
Armament 130 mm Field Gun M-46 ; 130 mm Field Gun Type 59 and Type 59-1; Factory 100 M59-1M; 130 mm Gun Model 1982 . 130 mm Self-propelled Gun (Catapult); NORINCO 130 mm Self-propelled Gun. Development The Soviet 130 mm Field Gun M-46 was developed during the early 1950s from a series of 130 mm naval guns; at one time it was known in the West as the M-1954. The 130 mm M-46 was widely used throughout the former Warsaw Pact nations, but it has now been largely withdrawn from RFAS use and replaced by more modern 152 mm equipment or by ammunition produced to 3OF66 standard (see following entry). However, the M-46 remains in widespread use elsewhere to the extent that its ammunition is still being manufactured by several nations. Conversion kits converting 130 mm M-46 carriages to accommodate 39 calibre 155 mm barrels firing NATO standard ammunition have been marketed by Soltam of Israel and have been ordered by the Indian Army. Konstrukta Defence of the Slovak Republic has produced a version of the OF-482M with a Base Bleed (BB) unit, increasing the maximum range to 32,500 m. An identical round is produced in the Slovak Repblic by Kerametal. Nations such as Israel and South Africa have seen fit to produce 130 mm HE ammunition ( South Africa also produces a Base Bleed (BB) round - see separate entry), while China has developed its own particular family of 130 mm rounds. This `commercial' market has extended to electronic fuzes for both Israel and South Africa , and also produces proximity and other fuzes intended for 130 mm M-46 ammunition. In Israel , Reshef Technologies produces EPSILON M139 MOD 2 while in South Africa Fuchs Electronics produces the M85R13A1. Both designs are optimised for 130 mm ammunition, as is the MINNIE proximity fuze produced by TDA of France. Throughout its service life the 130 mm M-46 has used several types of ammunition which are now no longer in service. One type was a 130 mm RAP used by Syria and at least two 130 mm chemical projectiles were in service at one time. One contained 1.6 kg of Sarin (GB) and the other 1.4 kg of VX, both nerve agents. Both projectiles weighed 33.4 kg and contained a TNT burster charge. These chemical warfare agent munitions are scheduled for destruction. The 130 mm FRAG-HE OF-482M is a modified version of the OF-482. The 130 mm FRAG-HE 3OF3 has an AP-30 fuze. Description The 130 mm FRAG-HE OF-482M is a separate loading munition, allowing the variable charges contained in a brass cartridge case to be varied to suit a particular fire mission. The projectile is forged steel and uses a conventional long-nosed streamlined outline with a nose fuze. There are two cupro-nickel drive bands, each 20.07 mm wide and spaced 9.14 mm apart, encircling the body close to the flat base, which has a very slight boat tailed profile. The body walls vary from approximately 29.5 mm to just under 28 mm in thickness and contain a TNT payload weighing 3.6 kg; the TNT has a flash additive for spotting purposes. The point detonating nose fuze is usually an RGM-2 but the PD RGM-6 or V-429 may be encountered. Czech and Slovak 130 mm rounds utilise the PD KZ 88 with a muzzle safety distance of 100 m. The 70:30 drawn brass cartridge case is issued in two versions, both with a KV-U or KV-5U percussion primer threaded into the base. The first one is a Full Charge version while the other has a Reduced propellant load. The Full Charge contains 13.5 kg of NDT-3 23/1 propellant loaded in a lower and upper bag, together with 2.5 kg of loose propellant in bundled stick form. An increment completes the Full Charge while removal of this increment creates Charge 1. The Reduced charge uses mainly 9/7 and 12/1 Tr propellant, weighs 6.75 kg complete and is supplied in a separate cartridge case. The top charge in the Reduced category is formed using the full complement of a base charge and two equal sized bags, forming Charge 2. Removal of one of the equal bags creates Charge 3 while removal of both equal bags, leaving only the base charge, creates Charge 4. A KV-U percussion primer is pressed into the cartridge case base to ignite both Full and Reduced propellant loads. On Reduced Charge cartridge cases the propellant is held against the base of the projectile (the top of the case) by a wide flash tube. The Full Charge produces a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s and provides a maximum range of 27,490 m. The Reduced charge, Charge 2, produces a muzzle velocity of 705 m/s and a range of 19,130 m.

Synonyms 23mm Soviet NS Armament Aircraft guns Goryunov-Shpagin GSh-23L and GSh-23LU; Nudelmann-Kalashnikov NK-23 Gatling; Nudelmann-Richter AM-23 and NT-23; Nudelmann-Suranov NS-23. Chinese aircraft guns Types 1, 2 and 2H. Development This round was developed during the Second World War, for the Nudelman-Suranov NS-23 aircraft cannon, used by Soviet ground attack fighters; it was a recoil-operated weapon scaled down from a previous 37 mm NS design. After the war it was supplemented by the gas-operated AM-23 and GSh-23 guns and later by the NK-23 Gatling-pattern gun. Description The case is rimless and bottlenecked, brass and percussion primed. Projectiles are of conventional design and weigh about 175 g. However, the rounds for early and later guns are not identical. Ammunition for the earlier NS gun was loaded to a lower velocity (690 m/s), while rounds for the AM, NT, GSh and NK series used a more powerful primer and an improved propellant to achieve 740 m/s. These latter rounds had the projectiles marked with a white band, but it seems that the only country now using the lower velocity round is the People's Republic of China , while other countries appear to have moderated the performance and settled on a somewhat lower velocity for the later guns.

Ammunition for 30 mm 2A42, 2A38 and 2A72
Armament 30 mm 2A42 cannon fitted to BMP-2 and Sarath ( India ) MIFVs and Bulgarian BMP-30 IFV; 30 mm 2A72 cannon fitted to BMP-3 IFV; 30 mm 2A38 and 2A38M cannon mounted on the 2S6 quad 30 mm/SA-19 2K22 Tunguska self-propelled air defence system; 2A38 cannon mounted on Sosna twin-axle trainer; 30 mm 2A38M (GM) cannon mounted on Brams self-propelled air defence system ( Slovakia ); 30 mm M86 and M89 cannon ( Yugoslavia ). Development The 30 mm 2A42 dual-feed cannon first appeared in public during 1982. Intended to be used against lightly armoured targets at ranges up to 1,500 m, the 2A42 cannon is also for use against low-flying aerial targets such as helicopters. The 30 mm 2A42 has a dual-feed system and two rates of fire; the slowest is 200 - 300 rds/min while the faster rate is a minimum of 550 rds/min. By contrast the 30 mm 2A72 cannon is lighter and has a fixed fire rate of around 330 rds/min; the dual-feed feature is retained. The 2A38 and 2A38M air defence cannon have a rate of fire of 1,950 to 2,500 rds/min. The 30 mm ammunition for all these cannon is known to be in production in Russia , the Czech Republic , Slovakia , Ukraine and Yugoslavia , although it is probable that production has now ceased in the latter region. Oerlikon Contraves Pyrotec AG of Switzerland, are developing a 30 mm subcalibre family of ammunition for 2A42 cannon which is intended to defeat both air and ground targets. It is possible that some or all of these 30 mm rounds are already being produced in India . A new munitions plant is being built at Bolangir in Eastern India which, when fully operational, will be able to produce `substantial quantities' of 30 mm ammunition every year. Description 30 × 165 mm ammunition for the 2A42 cannon is fixed. The projectile is rigidly secured to the tapered cartridge case by two rows of spaced crimps engaging in cannelures in the projectile. The projectiles have a pronounced `waist' just behind the bourrelet and forward of the drive bands, which can be either copper/gilding metal or sintered iron. Cartridge cases for 2A42 guns are usually lacquered or corrosion-treated steel and contain 6/7P-5 BPfl propellant. Rounds are fed into the cannon involved, joined together with 9H623 stamped steel links. HE-I (OFZ, also known as HEFI) projectiles carry 123 g of A-IX-2 (desensitised RDX/Aluminium) explosive and are fitted with A-670M point-detonating fuzes with a self-destruct device functioning between 7.5 and 14.5 seconds, although some manufacturers quote between 13 and 19 seconds. Tracer burn time is not less than 3.5 seconds and may be as long as 4.5 seconds. An HE-T (also known as FT) round also exists, with the tracer element burning for at least 9 seconds. The AP-T (BT) projectile weighs 400 g, contains 127 g of explosive and is stated to be able to penetrate up to 18 mm of armour plate set at 60º at a range of 1,000 m (25 mm at 750 m). Penetration at the maximum effective range of 1,500 m is 15 mm, or 20 mm at 700 m. The tracer element burns for 3 seconds. There is also an APDS-T round with a tungsten-based alloy subprojectile, also known as HVAP, with a muzzle velocity of 1,120 m/s and an armour penetration capability of 25 mm of armour plate set at 60º at a range of 1,500 m. The armour-piercing sub-projectile weighs 222 g. The tracer element burns for 1.5 seconds. This round is also referred to as a `Kerner' cartridge. All cartridge cases are lacquered or corrosion-treated (usually zinc plated) steel and contain 125 g of pyroxyline powder propellant ignited by a KV-3 primer. The cases are 164 mm long and weigh 328 g. 30 mm 2A42 ammunition produced in the Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) is intended for operation over a temperature range of -50 to +50ºC. TP, TP-T and inert drill rounds are available for both the HE-I and AP rounds.

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/60 PFHE
Armament All 40 mm L/60 Bofors Guns. Development The 40 mm L/60 PFHE round is the L/60 counterpart to the 40 mm L/70 PFHE (qv). It was developed by Bofors AB to provide 40 mm L/60 Bofors Gun users with a capability to update the weapons for use against fast low-flying strike aircraft, helicopter and missile targets. The 40 mm L/60 PFHE makes use of the considerable experience gained during the development and use of the 40 mm L/70 PFHE and employs a second-generation proximity fuze. As far as is known this round has yet to enter series production. Description The 40 mm L/60 PFHE is a fixed round with a brass cartridge case. The cartridge case is crimped rigidly to the projectile by two 360º crimping bands. A copper drive band encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. The 40 mm L/60 PFHE projectile follows the same general lines as the 40 mm L/70 PFHE (see separate entry), and uses a curved base (`duck-tailed') shell body manufactured from a special high-fragmentation steel. The explosive content is 90 g of Octol. The shell interior walls are lined with a total of 600 spherical tungsten carbide pellets, each 3 mm in diameter. The forward end of the streamlined projectile is occupied by the proximity fuze which operates on the Doppler principle. The fuze has an automatic sensitivity control preventing initiation of the fuze by surface objects and sea or ground reflections when passing over them at the low altitudes, produced by low gun barrel elevation angles. The fuze also has a high-sensitivity electrical impact function and an electrical self-destruct device, together with delayed arming and bore and muzzle safeties. In the event of a proximity burst the Octol charge produces a very high blast effect. The shell body fragments while the blast also spreads the 600 tungsten carbide spheres. Due to their high initial velocity and high inertia, the pellets are capable of inflicting great damage to aircraft and missile components at ranges of up to several metres. This is in addition to the damage caused by the shell body fragments. The effective range against aircraft and helicopters is up to 5.5 m and against missiles 1 to 2 m. This provides an increased on-target effect up to 12 times and a greatly increased target area when compared to point detonating ammunition. The brass cartridge case, which can be reused several times if required, has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with an M80 percussion primer. The propellant charge is flash reduced NC 1281 single-base nitrocellulose powder producing a muzzle velocity of 860 m/s. The 40 mm L/60 PFHE ballistics match those of other 40 mm L/60 projectiles.

Armament All 40 mm L/70 Bofors Guns including: 40 mm L/70 BOFI; TRINITY; SAK 40 L/70 ; L/70 Combat Vehicle Gun (40/70 B); Otobreda Twin 40L70 Field Mounting ; Otobreda Twin 40L70 Compact naval mounting; Otobreda Twin Fast Forty naval mounting; Boeing Company Bushmaster IV. TRIDON 40 mm L/70 self-propelled air defence gun. Development The 40 mm L/70 High Capacity High Explosive (HCHE) is a further development of the standard Bofors L/70 HE-T round, intended as a multipurpose projectile with good anti-armour effects. It is no longer in regular production in Sweden as Bofors AB now considers the 40 mm L/70 MPT (see separate entry) to be a more viable and effective round. Other nations, however, continue to deploy the L/70 HCHE. Description The 40 mm L/70 HCHE is a fixed round with a brass cartridge case. The cartridge case is crimped rigidly to the projectile by two 360º crimping bands. A copper drive band encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. The 40 mm L/70 HCHE projectile uses a special grade of steel, strong enough to penetrate armour plate up to approximately 20 mm thick without being damaged beyond utility. The explosive contents are 165 g of Octonal with an aluminium additive to increase the incendiary effects, all ignited by a nose-mounted Fz 104 M12 point detonating fuze with a delay element. The delay ensures that the maximum blast, fragmentation and incendiary effects can be obtained on and inside a target. The drawn 70:30 brass cartridge case has a semi-rimmed base and is fitted with a percussion primer with a sinoxide detonator. The propellant used is a low-erosion, flash reduced, single-base nitrocellulose tubular powder (NC 1066) producing a muzzle velocity of 1,030 m/s.

Cartridge, 40 mm: L/70 AP-T
Armament All 40 mm L/70 Bofors Guns including: 40 mm L/70 BOFI; TRINITY; SAK 40 L/70 ; L/70 Combat Vehicle Gun (40/70 B); Otobreda Twin 40L70 Field Mounting ; Otobreda Twin 40L70 Compact naval mounting; Otobreda Twin Fast Forty naval mounting; Boeing Company Bushmaster IV. TRIDON 40 mm L/70 self-propelled air defence gun. Development The 40 mm L/70 AP-T is no longer available from Bofors AB as it considers developments such as the 40 mm L/70 MPT rounds (qv) are now more effective for the attack of armoured targets. However, several other manufacturers continue to offer 40 mm L/70 AP-T which may be regarded as an upgraded version of the 40 mm L/60 AP-T. At one time Bofors also produced an L/70 APC-T with a small amount of explosive inside a recess in the base. This round is no longer available. Description The 40 mm L/70 AP-T is a fixed round with the projectile crimped rigidly to the brass cartridge case by two 360º crimping bands. A copper drive band encircles the projectile just above the cartridge case/projectile junction. The Bofors 40 mm L/70 AP-T projectile has a forged hardened steel penetrator body with the nose cap of cold-rolled steel covered by a thin steel windshield crimped onto the penetrator body. The base of the projectile is machined to accept a tracer element which burns for at least 4 seconds after firing. The drawn 70:30 brass cartridge case 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 usual load is approximately 480 to 485 g of a flash-reduced, single-base nitrocellulose powder (NC 1066), producing a muzzle velocity of 1,025 m/s. The 40 mm L/70 AP-T can penetrate from 40 to 50 mm of armour plate set at an angle of 60º at a range of 100 to 150 m.

5 in/38 naval gun ammunition 5 in/38 Calibre Projectile, Common 5 in/38 HE-PD
Armament Mk 12 5 in naval guns. Development The 5 in (127 mm) 38 calibre dual-purpose gun has been one of the US Navy's most trusted dual-purpose (air and surface target) weapons ever since 1935, when the first mountings entered service. During the Second World War, approximately 10 different single and twin mountings were developed specifically for 5 in 38 calibre barrels. In ballistic terms there is nothing particularly outstanding regarding its design criteria, such as projectile weight or muzzle velocity, but general reliability, handling and accuracy were rated as excellent. A measure of its importance to the US Navy can be seen in the fact that it was the first gun for which Proximity (Variable Time - VT) fuzes were developed and issued. Few 5 in 38 calibre guns now remain in use with the US Navy but the type is still widely used by many other navies, along with many different types of ammunition, although the variety of mountings has now been reduced to, at the most, four types. Description The ammunition intended for use in the 5 in 38 calibre dual-purpose (surface target and anti-aircraft) gun is semi-fixed. All rounds use a flat-based forged steel projectile with a single wide copper drive band allied with a cartridge case containing either a Full or Reduced Charge. Nose fuzes are normally protected by a domed cover until just before loading. The projectile weight for all types is around 25 kg. The projectile types are listed below but the cartridge cases and charges are common to most so details are provided here. The brass cartridge cases are straight-sided and rimmed, with a No 13 or No 48 electrical primer threaded into the base; the igniter tube runs virtually the entire length of the case interior. At the top of the propellant, which is held in position by a wad, is a distance-piece. The case mouth is kept closed by a case plug which is removed before loading. There are four propelling charges, using one or other of three different case mark numbers. They are as follows: D272, Full Charge - Case Mark number 5, 8 or 10 containing 6.9 kg of SPDN-BE propellant D264, Full Charge - Case Mark 10 containing 7.8 kg of Universal propellant D274, Full Charge - Case Mark number 5 or 10 containing 6.9 kg of SPDF-BE propellant D282, Reduced Charge - Case Mark number 5 or 10 containing 1.6 kg of SPDN-U or SPDN-Y propellant. As a range table guide, the muzzle velocity for Full Charge when firing a nominal 24.7 kg projectile is 762 m/s. Maximum range against surface targets is 16,500 m, while for air defence the ceiling is 11,400 m. The Reduced Charge produces a muzzle velocity of 350 m/s with the same weight of projectile. The types of 5 in 38 calibre projectile are as follows: 5 in/38 Calibre Projectile, Common Although intended for use primarily against naval or other surface targets this projectile can be used as an anti-aircraft projectile; it approximates to the APC-T land equivalent. There are three types, the Mk 32, Mk 38 and Mk 48, all of which are basically similar. All use a forged steel body with an armour-piercing tip hooded behind a light-alloy streamlined ballistic cap. The centre of the penetrator body contains a 930 g Explosive D (ammonium picrate) burster charge. The flat base of the projectile has a base plug into which is threaded a base-detonating fuze which is intended to function only after the projectile has penetrated the target armour; the projectile is intended to penetrate a thickness of armour at least one-third of its calibre, that is approximately 42 mm. To provide an impact marker for spotting purposes the hollow interior of the ballistic cap contains a marker dye container. Available dye colours are orange, red, blue and green. This projectile is normally fired using the Full Charge only. The nominal muzzle velocity is then 792.5 m/s. Projectile weight is 25 kg and length 526 mm. 5 in/38 High Explosive Projectiles There are numerous variants of the basic 5 in 38 calibre high-explosive projectile, all of which are essentially the same yet vary according to the presence or absence of a cavity in the base to accommodate a base fuze or the type of steel used for the body (all body types use ductile steel while the Mk 51 and 66 use high-fragmentation steel). All body types have the same basic outline, are 533 mm long and have a nominal weight of 25 kg. These projectiles may use either Full or Reduced Charges. As a general guide, base detonating projectiles are filled with Explosive D (ammonium picrate), while point detonating projectiles use Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 Anti-Aircraft Common - AAC This uses a mechanical time fuze (typically a Mk 349 Mod 1), fitted to the nose along with an auxiliary detonating fuze located in a cavity behind the nose fuze, and a base detonating fuze (typically a Mk 31 or M91A2 ). The AAC body types likely to be encountered are the Mk 35, 49, 52 and 56, all of which contain 3.4 kg of Explosive D (ammonium picrate) - the Mk 52 may also be encountered filled with 3.8 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 HE-MT This is essentially similar to the AAC but lacks the base-detonating fuze facility. Where appropriate the base fuze cavity is closed by a threaded plug. The body types involved are the Mk 35, 47, 49 and 51, all containing 5.5 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 HC Intended for use against surface targets, this type of projectile uses a point-detonating fuze, an auxiliary detonating fuze located in a cavity behind the nose fuze and a base-detonating fuze. The HC body types likely to be encountered are the Mk 35, 49 and 52, all of which contain 3.4 kg of Explosive D (ammonium picrate) - the Mk 52 may also be filled with 3.8 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 HE-PD This is essentially the same as the HC but lacks the base detonating fuze. Where appropriate the base fuze cavity is closed by a threaded plug. The body types involved are the Mk 35, 47, 49 and 52, all containing 3.4 kg of Explosive D (ammonium picrate), and the Mk 51 or 66 containing 5.5 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 VT This projectile uses a radio proximity fuze which may or may not have a self-destruct element. With this projectile the base fuze hole is plugged. Body types likely to be encountered are the Mk 34, 35, 47, 49, 93 and 94, all containing 5.5 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 HE-CVT This is fitted with only a radio proximity fuze (an infra-red proximity fuze was used at one time but was withdrawn) which is normally fitted with a fuze liner for safety. The body types likely to be used are the Mk 35, 47, 49 and high-fragmentation Mk 56 and 66. All contain 5.5 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). 5 in/38 Calibre Projectile, Illuminating This is a conventional illuminating round. There are four types, the Mk 30, 44, 50 and 87. The latter two use the Mk 11 illuminating load which weighs 7.39 kg and produces 600,000 candlepower for 50 seconds. The other two use the earlier Mk 4 Mod 0 illuminating load which weighs 7.68 kg and produces 275,000 candlepower for 60 seconds. In both cases the illuminating load is ejected from the projectile base by a 77.8 g black powder charge located behind the nose-mounted mechanical time fuze. The illuminating load (which uses 1.344 kg of powdered magnesium mixed with an oxidiser) then descends suspended from a 940 mm parachute. The Mk 30 and Mk 44 illuminating projectiles both weigh 25.08 kg and are 509.8 mm long. The Mk 50 and 86 both weigh 25.06 kg and are 528.1 mm long. Full or Reduced Charges can be used. 5 in/38 Calibre Projectile, Chaff Chaff projectiles are used as a basic Electronic CounterMeasure (ECM), by filling a volume of air with a large number of small metallised glass fibre needles. These produce a large radar cross-section to confuse enemy radars or missiles. The Mk 78 uses a Mk 21 (S-band) chaff load while other projectiles may use Mk 15 (X-band) or Type A (S-band) loads. Chaff projectiles have their body interiors optimised in volume to accommodate the chaff payloads and use mechanical time fuzes such as the Mk 349 Mod 0, sometimes with the addition of an auxiliary detonating fuze. Payloads are ejected through the projectile base by a small ejection charge located behind the nose-mounted fuze(s). A typical 5 in/38 Chaff projectile weighs 25.1 kg and is 528 mm long. The nominal muzzle velocity is 796 m/s and maximum range is 15,790 m. Full or Reduced Charges can be used. 5 in/38 Calibre Projectile, WP/Smoke This projectile uses an unusual smoke production system, in that a M5 canister containing 3.2 kg of White Phosphorus (WP) is ejected from the base of the carrier projectile once the nose-mounted Mk 73 point detonating (over land), or Mk 74 mechanical time (over sea) fuze has functioned. The canister, which is 305 mm long, is ejected by the internal pressures created by a 124.4 g expulsion charge located beneath the fuze well. The same charge also initiates a delay element in the top of the canister. After the delay is complete, the delay element detonates a burster tube running through the centre of the canister and breaks it open to disperse the WP. The WP then creates a grey/white screening smoke cloud which, in still air conditions, is approximately 45 m in diameter and persists for up to 7 minutes. With this projectile the WP is coated with synthetic rubber to improve its shelf life - the coated product is called TWP (plasticized white phosphorus). The projectile weighs 24.7 kg and is 508 mm long. It is normally fired using Full Charge only. Muzzle velocity is then 792.5 m/s. Practice projectiles (5 in/38) with inert fillings and dummy fuzes have also been produced along with completely inert handling training or `ramming' rounds.

Ammunition for 4.5 in naval gun 4.5 in Anti-Aircraft Practice (Flash) N5A2, fuzed N97
Armament Vickers 4.5 in Mk 8 naval gun. Development The prototype of the Vickers 4.5 in Mk 8 appeared in 1968. The barrel involved had many features in common with the land service 105 mm gun used on the self-propelled FV433 Abbot. The 4.5 in Mk 8 went on to become the standard main gun armament for Royal Navy frigates and destroyers and many have been exported. Approximately 60 4.5 in Mk 8 guns have been produced. In common with earlier UK 4.5 in naval guns the calibre is actually 4.45 in (113 mm). With a view to fulfilling a perceived future gun and ammunition requirement, Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Limited (VSEL) associated with PRB SA of Belgium, developed a 4.5 in round with a Base Bleed (BB) capability providing a range capability of 27,500 m. However, PRB ceased trading and it was not until 1993 that tenders were again invited for the development of an increased range 4.5 in round. The extended range ammunition will utilise an optimised fuze and feature improved fragmentation over existing rounds. Royal Ordnance (now BAE Systems , RO Defence), which already produces 4.5 in ammunition, is bidding to obtain a development and production contract for an improved HE round from the UK Ministry of Defence. RO Defence was awarded a £50 million plus design, development and production contract for the extended range HE round in July 1997. Available details for this round are provided below. The UK Design Authority for 4.5 in naval gun ammunition is RO Defence. Description The 4.5 in rounds for the Mk 8 naval gun are fixed, enabling them to be used with mechanical ammunition handling and loading systems. The projectiles are therefore rigidly secured to their brass cartridge cases by a series of three 360º crimping rings. However, some rounds have been produced as either fixed or separate loading rounds. The projectiles have thin-walled forged steel bodies, flat bases and a wide copper drive band. Short or deep intrusion fuzes can be installed. The rounds are normally delivered and stored inside special containers which can interlock for stacking. A special tool is used to remove the container lid and round. All 4.5 in rounds use a standard brass cartridge case containing MNLF/2P/M08 triple-base propellant and have an N44 series electrical primer. All rounds are 1.238 m long overall. Among the types of round available or in service are the following: 4.5 in HE N1A4, fuzed N97 This is a general-purpose high blast and fragmentation round, usually fitted with a general purpose proximity and direct action fuze. Available as a fixed round only. The French TDA UA 3020 (USFA) proximity fuze may be used with this round. The Royal Navy expressed a requirement for 1,548 of these rounds for the FY94-95. Royal Ordnance 4.5 in HE ER Royal Ordnance have proposed an improved 4.5 in HE ER round which will embody changes to the projectile to improve the shape and incorporate a Base Bleed (BB) unit to extend the maximum range. Changes to the propellant, projectile steel and the type of fuze are anticipated. It is intended that the fixed round will be compatible with the current ammunition packaging and gun system. Available details are that the projectile will weigh 20.6 kg and contain 3 kg of RDX/TNT (60/40); the fuze will weigh less than 1 kg. The cartridge case will contain 7.15 kg of propellant producing a muzzle velocity of 869 m/s. Round length will be 1.238 m. 4.5 in Star N4A1, fuzed N9 Mk 1 Fitted with a mechanical time fuze, this round provides target or other illumination for approximately 40 seconds. Known as `Monica' or, more generally, Star. 4.5 in Radar Echo (RE) Produced in two forms, RE/J and RE/I, this round fires a projectile which dispenses its chaff payload to jam or confuse enemy radars. Fitted with an N9 Mk 2 mechanical time fuze. 4.5 in Anti-Aircraft Practice (Flash) N5A2, fuzed N97 Known as AAP, this relatively low-cost round is used for anti-aircraft or other practice firings. The normal fuze is a general purpose proximity and direct action type which, on functioning, uses its exploder to produce a small flash to indicate fuze or projectile functioning. The filling is an inert material. 4.5 in Surface-Use Practice N7A2 Intended for practice firing against surface targets, this projectile has the same body as the HE round but is filled with an inert material and a nose plug representing a fuze (PRF). This round is known as SUP. The Royal Navy expressed a requirement for 1,944 of these rounds for the Fiscal Year 1994-95. 4.5 in Radar Enhanced N13A1 The projectile used with this round is inert but the nose section contains extra radar reflectors enabling it to be used as a simulated anti-ship missile target for training with missile fire-control systems. 4.5 in Ram Rounds These are completely inert non-firing, one-piece rounds intended for cycling through ammunition feed systems or for general handling training. An inert test fuze for use with fuze setting mechanisms may be fitted.

Armament Otobreda 76/62 MMI; Otobreda 76/62 Compact; Otobreda 76/62 Super Rapid; Otobreda 76/62 Above Deck; 76 mm self-propelled AMRAD OTOMATIC air defence tank. Development The 76 mm HE-PF-OM (High-Explosive - PreFormed OTO Munition), also known at one time as the PreFormed Fragmentation (PFF) OTO Mod.84, is one of a family of improved 76/62 rounds developed by Alenia Difesa, Otobreda Division, (formerly OTO Melara). The intention was to enhance the performance of the 76/62 naval guns against sea-skimming missiles and similar targets, and the 76 mm self-propelled AMRAD OTOMATIC air defence tank. It is mechanically interchangeable with all other types of 76/62 ammunition. There are two versions of this round produced. The HE-PF-OM-1 accepts standard NATO fuzes while the HE-PF-OM-2 accepts US standard fuzes. In the latter case an adaptor ring is fitted to the thread in the projectile body. This munition is marketed by Alenia Difesa, Otobreda Division. Development of a course-correction version of this round was discontinued. Description The 76 mm HE-PF-OM is similar in concept to the MOM (see previous entry) and has the same external shape and fuze well in the explosive filling as the standard 76 mm HE-OM (see separate entry). It is, therefore, a fixed round with the projectile rigidly secured to the brass cartridge case by a crimping ring, which engages in a groove on the wide copper/gilding metal drive band. The projectile body is made from high-quality steel. Tungsten alloy cubes acting as preformed fragments are located around the projectile body and held in position by steel liners. The weight of the tungsten alloy cubes alone is 1.47 kg and although the cubes are smaller than those used on the MOM round their number is greater. The projectile interior is compression loaded with 731 g of Composition A-3 (91 per cent RDX, 9 per cent wax). When the fuze functions the resultant explosion propels the high specific weight tungsten alloy cubes at high velocity, together with the fragments produced by the shell body. The preformed fragments can penetrate 14 mm of dural plate. One possible fuze that could be employed (among many) is the French TDA UA 3018 multimode proximity. The brass cartridge case (72 per cent copper, 28 per cent zinc) has a base-mounted P85 percussion primer and is filled with 2.3 kg of M6 + 2 single-base multiperforated (19-hole) propellant. A mixture of wax and titanium in a fabric liner is glued inside the cartridge case to act as an anti-wear additive. The primer is normally protected by a clip which is removed before loading. To reduce training costs, the South African company NASCHEM has produced a point-detonating fuze, the PD M9030, to be fitted to 76/62 projectiles in place of proximity fuzes during training.

Cartridge, 57 mm: HE M306 and M306A1
Armament M18 and M18A1 rifles. Development The first US recoilless rifle was the 57 mm T15 which first appeared, along with its (then) novel ammunition, in late 1943. The T15 was standardised as the M18 while the later M18A1 had its chamber and breech block handle in a different position. Although the M18 and M18A1 have been out of service with the US armed forces for many years and 57 mm RCL ammunition is no longer produced in the USA, the M18 and M18A1 continue to provide good service elsewhere and 57 mm RCL ammunition is still produced by a few manufacturers. At one time it was manufactured in China . A copy of the M18A1 is still produced in Brazil by Hydroar SA while a Communist Chinese copy of the M18A1 is known as the 57 mm Type 36. The 57 mm HE M306 was one of the original items of US RCL ammunition developed during the Second World War. The more common M306A1 differs in the type of filling and the design of the crimping groove. Description The 57 mm HE M306 and M306A1 are both fixed rounds with the forged steel projectile crimped rigidly to the perforated steel cartridge case. The thin-walled projectile has a short ogive and is encircled towards the flat base by a single pre-engraved gilding metal drive band. The 57 mm HE M306 projectile is filled with 250 g of TNT; the M306A1 has 250 g of Composition B. The nose-mounted fuze is either a PD M503, M503A1 or M503A2, all of which function either on impact or graze. Early examples used the PD M89 fuze. The cartridge case involved may either be an M30A1B1 or M30A1B2. Both are made of steel and have 400 circular perforations in the sidewalls. The solid base has a central M46 , M60 or M60A1 percussion primer. Approximately 454 g of M10 propellant is loosely loaded into a plastic liner inside the cartridge case. Maximum range of the HE M306/M306A1 is 4,508 m and muzzle velocity 366 m/s. The training round equivalent of the 57 mm HE M306/M306A1 is the Cartridge, 57 mm: TP M306A1. This is virtually identical to the HE rounds but the projectile contains only a small black powder marking charge weighing 31 g, plus 183 g of an inert material. On impact the marker charge produces flash and smoke for spotting purposes.

Cartridge, 57 mm: HEAT M307 and M307A1
Armament M18 and M18A1 rifles. Development The 57 mm HEAT M307 was one of the original items of American 57 mm recoilless rifle ammunition developed during the Second World War. It was originally developed for use against armoured targets but its deployment extended to bunkers and similar hard targets. The 57 mm HEAT M307A1 differs from the M307 as it uses a plastic liner to hold the propelling charge inside the cartridge case instead of a paper liner, together with a later model of percussion primer. The 57 mm HEAT M307 is rarely, if ever, encountered today. Description The 57 mm HEAT M307 and M307A1 are both fixed rounds with the forged steel projectile crimped rigidly to the perforated steel cartridge case. The thin-walled projectile has a short ogive and is encircled towards the flat base by a single pre-engraved gilding metal drive band. The projectile has a forward cap carrying a PD M90 or M90A1 fuze. The main body contains a shaped charge formed by 180 g of Composition B or 50-50 Pentolite behind a hemispherical copper liner. A steel sleeve brazed to the neck of the copper liner provides a passage from the fuze to a tetryl booster pellet in the base of the projectile. Thus, as the fuze functions on impact it ignites a small shaped charge, creating a flash jet which passes through the steel sleeve to light the booster pellet and detonate the shaped charge explosive from the rear, thereby improving its efficiency. The high-velocity metal particle jet produced by the warhead can penetrate up to 76 mm of armour plate. The cartridge case involved may be the M30A1 or M30A1B1, both are made of steel and have 400 perforations in their sidewalls. The solid base has a central M60 or M60A1 percussion primer. There is approximately 454 g of M10 propellant loosely loaded into a plastic liner inside the cartridge case; the M307 used a paper liner. Maximum range of the 57 mm HEAT M307/M307A1 is 3,930 m and muzzle velocity 366 m/s.

Cartridge, 106 mm: HEP-T M346A1
Armament M40A1 , M40A1C and M40A2 cannon. Development The 106 mm HEP-T M346A1 was developed for use with the 106 mm (actual calibre 105 mm) M40 series of recoilless (RCL) rifles during the early 1950s. Since its service debut during the mid-1950s, the 106 mm M40 series of recoilless rifles has been widely adopted and licence-produced. There is no sign of it passing from favour with many armed forces, although it is no longer in the US inventory. It is even making something of a come-back since its anti-armour projectiles are especially effective against composite armours. The HEP-T M346A1 is one of the `base' rounds used with the 106 mm M40 series as it is intended for use against armour, the main function of the M40 series. It is only marginally less effective than a conventional HE projectile as an anti-personnel weapon. Description The 106 mm HEP-T M346A1 is a fixed round, with the projectile rigidly secured to the perforated steel cartridge case by a crimping groove. The projectile has two indexing buttons 180º apart on the forward bourrelet and a pre-engraved drive band encircles the projectile just forward of the base. The HEP-T projectile is a thin-walled steel shell with a short curved ogive and a flat base. The base is fitted with a BD M91A2 fuze and an integral tracer which burns for the initial part of the trajectory. The shell filling is 3.5 kg of Composition A-3 (RDX/Wax 91/9). As the projectile impacts with a target the thin steel walls of the shell rupture, allowing the explosive filling to spread in a `plaster' over the target surface before the delayed action BD fuze functions. The resultant pressure and detonation waves are then transmitted through the target armour to create internal spalling and other destructive effects. The M94B1 perforated steel cartridge case has an M57 percussion primer press fitted into the base and contains a 3.58 kg charge of M26 propellant in a rayon and plastic liner. The flash from the primer also ignites the tracer in the base of the projectile. Maximum range of the HEP-T M346A1 is 6,870 m and muzzle velocity 498 m/s. An inert drill round used to simulate the HEP-T M346A1 is known as the Cartridge, 106 mm: Dummy, M368. It does not contain explosive and cannot be fired. A subcalibre training device used for short-range target practice with the M40 recoilless rifle series was developed as the Rifle, Caliber 0.30, Subcaliber: M9 . As this device, which resembled an M94B1-type perforated cartridge case but with a centrally mounted 0.30 machine gun barrel along the centre, fires the obsolete 0.30 rifle cartridge it has largely fallen from use. A more modern device is the Portuguese INDEP subcalibre adaptor which again uses a rifle calibre barrel in a 106 mm recoilless rifle cartridge case, but is chambered to accept a standard NATO 7.62 mm ball or tracer cartridge. It may be taken as an example of several other similar devices. The INDEP adaptor weighs 8.5 kg and is 665 mm long. Giat Industries also produces a subcalibre training round known as the 106 SR NR541 practice system. Originally produced by PRB SA of Belgium, this device fires a 7.62 mm tracer bullet with a muzzle velocity of 515 m/s. Weight of this subcalibre device is 16 kg.

0.30 Carbine
Synonyms 7.62 × 33 mm Armament Originally for the US Carbine M1. The cartridge will operate in M1, M1A1 , M2 and M3 carbines and in commercial copies such as those made by High Standard and other companies. The 0.30 carbine cartridge was also used in the Cristobal carbine. A handful of sub-machine guns, automatic pistols and revolvers have been chambered for this cartridge but none have been very successful, the ballistics not being optimum for short-barrelled weapons. Development This cartridge was developed in 1940 by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, to a specification issued by the US Ordnance Department. It was broadly based upon the 0.32 Winchester Self-Loading rifle round of 1906 and was standardised as the `Cartridge, Carbine, Cal .30 M1' on 30 September 1941. Production was entirely by government plants until 1945. After the war large numbers of M-1 carbines were disposed of commercially, therefore commercial cartridge manufacture began and has continued ever since. Some 6.2 million carbines were made by US government contractors and several companies have produced commercial copies since the mid-1950s. As a result the weapon is widely distributed and is commonly in use by military and police forces throughout the world. The ballistics of the 0.30 carbine cartridge, however, make it a relatively poor choice for military or law enforcement organisations. Description The case is rimless, straight tapered, and usually of brass, though steel cased ammunition was made in the USA in 1942-45. The bullet is blunt-nosed, having a lead core and gilding metal jacket, and flat based.
