CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1. PURPOSE

This manual is a reference handbook pub-lished as an aid in planning, training, familiari-zation and identification of artillery ammuni-tion, including guns, howitzers, recoilless rifles, mortars, 50mm grenade launchers, and artil-lery fuzes.

1-2. SCOPE

a. For each item of materiel, there are illustrations and descriptions together with char-acteristics and related data. Included in the related data are weight, dimensions, perform-ance data, packing, shipping and storage data, type classification, and logistics control code

(LCC).

b. Information concerning supply opera-tion, and maintenance of the items will be found in the publications referenced for those items. A complete listing of these publications is maintained in DA Pam 310 series indexes.

c. Appendix A and TM 43-0001-28-4 through TM 43-0001-28-10 list authorized Cartridge/Projectile Fuze and Propelling Charge Combinations. These lists (i.e., charts) supersede the fuze and propelling charge combi-nations referenced on the data sheets.

d. Within this manual, items with the fol-lowing type classifications are included:

(1) Standard (LCC-A, LCC-B)

(2) Contingency (CON)

(3) Limited Procurement (LP)

(4) Reclassified obsolete (OBS) for reg-ular Army use, but used by National Guard or Reserve Units.

(5) Reclassified OBS for all Army use, but used by Marine Corps, Air Force, or Navy

(6) Reclassified OBS, no users, but U.S. stocks remain.

Items with the following type classifi-cation are not included: Reclassified OBS for

1-3.

all U.S. use. No U.S. stocks remain. (Foreign use or stock may remain.)

f. Numerical values, such as weights, dimensions, candlepower, etc., are nominal val-ues, except when specified as maximum or mini-mum. Actual items may vary slightly from these values. Allowable limits can be obtained from the drawings indicated in the data sheets.

ARTILLERY AMMUNITION

FOR

GUNS

2-1

CARTRIDGE, 35 MILLIMETER: TP-T M968 WITH IGNITOR, ELECTRIC, M63

Type Classification:

LPU, 30 May 88.

Use:

The M968 cartridge and the M63 igniter are assembled to the cartridge adaptor compo-nent of the weapon system. See Mauser Tank Precision Gunnery Inbore Device (TPGID) Operator’s Manual for loading sequence. The M968 cartridge is a target practice round for use in the 35mm TPGID system, which is mounted inside the 120mm smooth bore M256 cannon. It is designed to simulate the flight characteristics of the M830 and M831 rounds out to 1,800 meters.

Description:

Cartridge M968. The projectile consists of a DM1071 projectile jacket, a DM220 dummy point-detonating fuze, a tracer, and a press-seated steel rotating band. The projectile is crimped to a DM1001 steel cartridge case, which holds approximately 0.69 pound (0.31 kg) of B3620 single-base propellant and is fitted with a DM144 percussion primer.

Ignitor M63. The M63 igniter consists of a closing plug assembly, an igniter body assem-bly and an ignitor element assembly. The igni-tor element assembly is loaded with approxi-mately 0.006 ounce (0.17 g) of igniter material (40% Potassium Chlorate, 32% Lead Thiocynate, 18% Charcoal, and 10% Egyptian Lacquer) and is assembled to the ignitor body.

The closing plug assembly contains approxi-mately 0.007 ounce (0.198 g) of black powder and is also assembled to the igniter body.

Functioning:

The TPGID cartridge adaptor is loaded into the 120mm smooth bore cannon in the nor-mal manner. Upon initiation of the M63 igniter in the weapon, gases from the igniter force the piston/firing pin mechanism to strike the percus-sion primer of the M968. Functioning of the per-cussion primer initiates the B3620 propellant.

The resulting gases drive the projectile from the gun and ignite the tracer. The projectile is spin stabilized during its flight to target.
