High-Explosive round components
High-Explosive round components
The round is composed of a steel body with an HE charge of pressed Comp. A3 and a Point Detonating (PD) fuze with selective super quick (SQ) or delay modes. The brass cartridge case crimped to the projectile contains a mechanical percussion primer and a M6+2 propellant. A metal clip over the cartridge case base protects the primer tube, which contains an 18-gram black powder charge.
Round operation
Round operation
- Firing: Striking the percussion primer ignites the black powder charge in the primer tube, which ignites the propellants to impart velocity.
- Impact: Upon impact, the preset fuse detonates the HE filler to produce blast and fragmentation effects.
Packaging
