AEROBALLISTICS RANGE TESTS OF A 40 MM PROJECTILE

摘要

Aeroballistic range tests were conducted on a high velocity 40 mm practice ammunition from a MK19 launcher mounted on a solid mount. The aerodynamic properties as well as the aerodynamic jump, the gun dispersion, and statistical properties on the mass, muzzle velocities and aerodynamic coefficients were determined. Ten projectiles were fired at a muzzle velocity of roughly 240.0 m/s.
