What are the exact weights of the 30mm HE, HVAPDU, and TP rounds?

Anyone know?

Thanx.

the whole thing or just the projectile?

I am trying to recall the old ICT briefing we use to do. I believe each one is approx 1.5 pounds. I wanna say that the weights of the the training round and the party mix rounds are different but I am drawing a blank. When that happens I am usually wrong. Now that I come to think of it Sniper it may be in the book you have under the descriptions of the different systems.

By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson

Sniper...the numbers from my notes when I formerly taught the gun to pilots at the D-M schoolhouse are: TP/HEI=1.51 lbs (total round) and API=1.65 lbs (total round) ...that was early in the operational life of the Hog...but i bet it's still pretty accurate! maybe someone can do better!...cheers, all!

Actually, weights for the projectiles and the entire cartridges would be very useful info to me.

Hawg, i didn't see the info in the FM, which is the first place i looked. It has all kinds of other awesome info in it though...i love it.

Thanx RC.
