ABSTRACT (S)
Fifty
Shot, APDS, 105-mm, 1 > D 9 2 A 1
were supplied
for
an
evaluation
of
armor-penetration
and lOOO-yard-accuracy
characteristics.
he
shot
were
divided
into
two
groups of
25 each and
assembled
with
sabots from
two
different
suppliers.
The
defeat-of-armor
phase
was
fired
first
using th e
stipulated
shot
and
a
5-inch
rolled
homogeneous
armor plate
set
at
60°
obliquity.
protection
ballistic limit of
H 6 o < J
fps was
obtained for
th e
US
shot,
but
due
to
th e
urgency
of
the
program
a
protection ballistic
limit
was
no t
obtained for the UK
shot.
In
the
accuracy
and metal-parts
phase the
shot_to
be
fired
at
70°F
were
assembled
with
experimental tracers
designated
XM-.
en
of
the
rounds
were
temperature-conditioned
at
-40°F and the
other
20 were
fired
at
70°F
in
groups
of ten.
cceptable accuracy
was
obtained
with
the
sabots
from
both
suppliers.
In
view
of
the
promising
accuracy
results
obtained
in
this
program,
it is
recommended
that a more extensive test
be
fired with similarly
constructed projectiles
to
confirm
th e
adequacy of
design
and
construction.
Additional
plate-performance
tests
should
be
conducted with
both
th e
UK
and US shot
to
establish
a
valid
comparison of the two rounds.

(S) NTRODUCTION
Previous firing
of the 105-mm, APDS
shot,
as
manufactured by the
US
gave positive
evidence
of
sabot failure
and/or total breakup of the sub-
projectile
within
the
tube.
nvestigation
as
to
the
cause
of
breakup
revealed
that
tighter
control was necessary
over material
physical
properties
than
was implied
by UK
drawings
and specifications.
Metal parts submitted for
the current test
have been manufactured
in
accordance
with
the
latest
technical data and
advice
from
UK
represent-
atives.
The
purpose
of
this
test
is
to confirm
and
evaluate
the performance
of
shot produced
by US
production methods
for
the
translated
design.

3.1 U) rocedure
In
this test the plate-penetration
phase was fired first.
piece
of
armor plate
was
placed
in the butts
at the
required obliquity,
and
following
each
round
the plate
was checked for
movement
and
to assure
the correct obliquity.
s
the first
plate
fired
upon
was
small
in area,
the
number
of
hits was
limited.
larger
plate with
a
comparable
BH N
and
Charpy
value
was
then
used
to insure
a
fair
hit.
In
the accuracy phase,
ten
rounds were temperaturized at
the
request
of
the
arsenal
representative
and
tracers
were not
assembled
with
these rounds. ll
other
rounds fired for
accuracy
at

were
assembled
with the
