The Effects of Drift Crosswind and Barrel Wear on Displacement of H.E.S.H. Shell Fired from the 120mm Gun in Conqueror

Abstract

This Report describes further firings carried out to obtain information on the lateral and vertical displacments of HESH shell fired from the 120 m.m. gun in Conqueror. Values are given for the lateral displacements due to drift and crosswind. A recommendation is made to compensate for the vertical displacenent of the shell due to barrel wear.
