Cool M1 Abrams tank site

Re: Cool M1 Abrams tank site

 

I have always felt the "Silver Bullets" from the 120mm on the Abrams should be AP x2. They're the best AT round in the world; bar none. Did you see the penetration numbers on the new 3rd generation (M828E3) Silver Bullet? 960mm of hardened rolled armor steel at 2000 meters! That's 37 inches! An M1A2's DU round could easily have poked 6" holes in WW2 era battleships' main armor belts.

 

The Maverick and a few Russian ATGMs are supposed to have greater penetration, but they're probably all just huge HEAT warheads.
