2014年2月25日 · The PEO Ammunition Systems Portfolio Book 2012-2013 has the following to say about the M829A3: SPECIAL FEATURES: • Superior Armor Defeat Capability • Higher Velocity over M829A2 via Improved Propellant and Sabot • Super DU Penetrator. Currently in SB, the muzzle velocity for the M829A3 and M829A2 is given at 1555 m/s and 1680 m/s ...

2019年4月14日 · Statistics. Maximum Range: 3500m Armor Penetration: 600mm RHAe (KE) Muzzle Velocity: 1670m/s Date Fielded: 1983 ...

2019年4月14日 · Although superseded by the M829A3 APFSDS-T in 2003, the M829A2 was stockpiled in large numbers and only began the demilitarization process in mid 2014. Sources: Federation of American Scientists

2019年10月24日 · The M829A4 can penetrate 880mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor at 4000 meters which is only slightly better than the 840mm of the M829A3, this is because its mainly meant to counter Explosive Reactive Armor and Hard Kill Active Protection Systems than composite armor.

2024年7月2日 · Note that the penetration values below (displayed as "Rolled Homogenous Armor equivalent" in millimeters) are line of sight (LOS) estimations measured at the muzzle against a semi-infinite target meeting the specifications for a NATO single heavy type array.

2023年3月12日 · TANKS 2000s. M1A2(SEP) w/M829A3-vs- Leopard 2A6 w/DM53L55 possibly the third most ideal matchup, secondary to M1A1(HA) vs. Leopard 2A5 and M1A1 vs. Leopard 2A4 (see "1980s" and "1990s" below).

2022年8月15日 · I did a few test firings with M829A3, firing into the T-72B3 turret front thickest part of the tank (through K5 ERA), and it does penetrate with crew casualties. Those results are expected. If you are getting no effect type impacts on the turret, then likely you are hitting it low on the turret front, just above the turret ring.

2017年4月17日 · I suspect that M829A3 and M829A4 might use similiar trick among possible other solutions. I would suspect this is the case. The American defense industry since the 1980s has a rather large track of trying to provide a 95% solution when a 75% would be sufficient.

2014年1月31日 · The M829A2 class round might see around 1" extra penetration, which is more significant ~ this is a 'generation' improvement, equivalent to (and for the same reasons (i.e. increased velocity)) as that between M829A1 and M829A2, but is lower than the increases from M829 to M829A1 or from M829A2 to M829A3, which were caused by increased rod sizes ...

2010年9月17日 · I think it is rated at 500mm vs RHA at a particular range. Which strikes me a very low for a round released in the late 1990s. I was under the impression that while it was not a world beater, that it was about as good as the M829A1 which was released nearly a decade earlier. Modern rounds such as M829A3 and DM-53 penetrate nearly twice as much.
