TEST OF SHOT, AP, 105 MM, T182

Abstract

The objective of the report is to develop a granulation and propelling charge for the Gun, 105 mm, T140 using the Gun, 105 mm, T5 and to investigate the firing, flight and armor penetrating characteristics of Shot, AP, 105 mm, T182. A propelling charge, using T12 propellant, was established for the T182 shot in the T5E1 gun which resulted in a muzzle velocity of 3500 feet per second at a pressure of 46600 psi. The accuracy and form factor for the T182 shot were determined and a preliminary investigation made of the armor penetrating capability of the shot.
