CartridgesThe M791 APDS-T cartridge possesses the superb accuracy and penetration necessary to defeat today's threats. Itshigh velocity, coupled with a low time of flight, assures effective performance at extended ranges.
The M792 HEI-T cartridge offers the accuracy and lethality needed for light materiel, antipersonnel, and fire suppres-sion roles. This cartridge is fuzed with the M758 Point Detonating Self-Destruct (PDSD) fuze, developed and produced exclusively by Orbital ATK. The M758 provides superior arming delay, graze and extended range sensitivity, and self-destruct and meets MIL-STD 1316 requirements.
The M793 TP-T is a low cost, target practice cartridge, ballistically matched to the M792 HEI-T round.
The M910 TPDS-T is a training cartridge designed to specifically match the trajectory of the APDS-T round, but with adesired range limit.
The PGU-32/U SAPHEI-T round provides aerial and surface gun platforms with improved effectiveness against soft and light armored targets. This round is qualified for use on the AV-8/B Harrier and MK 38 Navy weapon systems andcomplies with NATO STANAG 4173.
The PGU-25 HEI is an untraced round that is used on fixed wing aircraft such as the AV-8/B Harrier and AC-130Gunship. It uses the M505 point detonating fuze and complies with NATO STANAG 4173.
The PGU-23 TP is a low cost, untraced target practice cartridge ballistically matched to the PGU-25 HEI.
