Investigation of the Hood Effect of the 6 inch Comm. Mk. 27-7 Projectile at Various Obliquities

Abstract

Tests were conducted to obtain a comparison between plate ballistic limits using 6 inch Comm. Mk. 27-7 projectiles, in the standard condition and also with the windshield and hood removed, versus STS and Class B armor plates at various obliquities. The conditions and results of test are summarized in photos, and a summary of plate penetration coefficients is given.
