Initial Firing Test Results of the 35mm Scaled Model of the 105mm M68 Tank Gun

Abstract

The initial firing test results of the 35mm scaled model of the 105mm M68 tank gun are presented and compared with the calculated performance for three different web propellants. The data include the muzzle velocities and chamber pressures for charge weights varying from 50% to 100% of the charge weight required for the scaled model of the M392A2 APDS round.
