I hope the link will work below.
If
NOT, the story is dealing with Australia conducting a test of their M1A1 tank rounds.
"The
120mm KEW-A2 round is primarily used for anti-tank engagements at
ranges out to 4000m.
Its projectile is a
tungsten penetrator that
accelerates to a muzzle velocity of more than 6200 km/h.
“Muzzle velocity should be of a specific rate that offers little margin for variation,” Sgt Mavall said. “We were looking to see whether there was any shift in that, and
there wasn’t.”
EDIT: The link worked; however, it took you to page the above was part of but also allowed full access to the rest of the paper.
I think I better send them an email to see if I can post this
fully for
other than my personal use as I have a subscription.
You gotta make sure they work.

Pat
