Key Specifications |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Propulsion: |
Most use a High-Low Propulsion System, which keeps recoil low enough for infantry use while still providing effective range. |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Velocity Families: |
Low Velocity (LV): Muzzle velocity of ~78–84 m/s; effective up to 400 meters. Medium Velocity (MV): Intermediate rounds (~100 m/s) with ranges up to 800 meters. High Velocity (HV): Fired from machine guns at ~240 m/s; effective range exceeds 2,000 meters. |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Safety Mechanisms: |
Modern rounds feature arming distances (e.g., 14–28 meters) to ensure they do not explode too close to the user. |
