105×617mmR

(Redirected from 105×617mm)

The 105×617mm (4.1 inch), also known as 105×617mmR, is a common, NATO-standard, tank gun cartridge used in 105 mm guns such as those derived from the Royal Ordnance L7.

105×617R
A 105 mm DM16 illuminating round alongside a 105 mm DM23 APFSDS round (cross-sectioned).

Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS)

edit

There are different ways to measure penetration value. NATO uses a criterion that 50% of the shell has to go through the plate, while the Soviet/Russian standard is higher as 80% had to go through. According to authorities like Paul Lakowski, the difference in performance can reach as much as 8%[9]
