Fallout Re: MBT's

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.

Regards,
Pat
