We've all heard the party line before, that the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank's M256 120mm Smoothbore gun is the biggest, baddest, best, and most powerful tank gun in the world --- once and a while, there are even promoters who tout the M1's main gun as a UNIQUE weapon system. We hear these things again and again on the Corporate Media, Future Weapons, the manufacturer's videos and brocures, and the testimony of US tank crews. ...but how honest IS this claim? Are there any tanks out there with similar weapons; BETTER main guns, perhaps? After all, it would REALLY suck if the only Battletank in the entire US inventory, which costs more than ANY OTHER, had any less than a one-of-a-kind, EXCEPTIONALLY-powerful gun that the M1's rave reviews imply it has.

The 120mm M829A2 cartridge was designed to be the most effective anti-armor kinetic energy round fired by the M256 120mm smooth bore cannon of Abrams Main Battle Tank. The propellant system consists of a combustible cartridge case mounted on a steel stub base and filled with kerfed propellant. The propellant is ignited by a M129 electric primer. The projectile incorporated a segmented graphite reinforced plastic sabot held in place by a plastic band which separates in flight to allow the discarding of the sabot from the super depleted uranium (SDU) penetrator. A synthetic rubber seal is molded to the base of the sabot assembly to prevent the forward escape of hot propellant gases. The M829A2, although using similar components of the M829A1 APFDS-T, has been technologically improved to provide significantly greater armor penetration capability than the older round. The M829A2's performance gains, while classified, result from several novel features. These include the use of new manufacturing process to improve the structural quality of the depleted uranium penetrator, the use of a carbon-epoxy composite for the sabot (a world-wide first in a projectile this large) and a special manufacturing process which partially cuts the propellant charge to allow it to behave ballistically like a granular propellant bed, while loading like a stick charge. Combined, these features increase the muzzle velocity of the M829A2 approximately 100 m/sec greater than the M829A1, while operating <b>...</b>

This is one badass tank. M1A1 Abrams MORE ABRAMS PHOTOS AVAILABLE AT WWW.US-ARMY-INFO.COM The M1A1 is an improved version of the M1 Main Battle Tank (MBT). It includes a 120mm smoothbore main gun, an NBC overpressure protection system, and an improved armor package. This tank significantly increases the capabilities of the Army across the full spectrum of conflict in the near and midterm. Engagement ranges approaching 4000 meters were successfully demonstrated during Operation Desert Storm. The latest version is the M1A2, however this has yet to be fully deployed. The M1A1/2 Abrams main battle tank is manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS). The first M1 tank was produced in 1978, the M1A1 in 1985 and the M1A2 in 1986. 3273 M1 tanks were produced for the US Army. 4796 M1A1 tanks were built for the US Army, 221 for the US Marines and 555 co-produced with Egypt. 77 M1A2 tanks have been built for the US Army, 315 for Saudi Arabia and 218 for Kuwait. For the M1A2 Upgrade Program, 1079 M1 Abrams tanks are being upgraded to M1A2 configuration. In February 2001, GDLS were contracted to supply 240 M1A2 tanks with a system enhancement package (SEP). The M1A2 SEP contains an embedded version of the US Army's Force XXI command and control architecture; new Raytheon Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) with second generation thermal imager; commander's display for digital color terrain maps; second generation thermal imaging gunners sight with increased range <b>...</b>

The round is a 120mm M829A3 cartridge. The M829A3 is the most effective anti-armor kinetic energy round fired from the M256 120mm smoothbore cannon mounted on the Abrams Main Battle Tank. This cartridge has been specifically developed to counter advances in armor protection technologies, to include explosive reactive armor. The propulsion system consists of a high-energy propellant and a combustible cartridge case with an electric primer. The projectile system consists of a Depleted Uranium (DU) penetrator mated to a drag reducing windshield and flight stabilizing multi-bladed tail fin, all secured for launch by a composite sabot. This round incorporates revolutionary advances in technology and represents the most lethal anti-armor tank cartridge in production/inventory.

Now that you've seen in Part 1 how "powerful" and "unique" the M1's main gun is, the next question is, "What about it's ammunition"? ("What" indeed!) Part 2 only covers 2 of the 5 types of rounds available for the M1; Sabot and HEAT. These are the quintessential American 120mm tank rounds, which the M1 has used ever since it first entered service with a 120mm gun in 1984. So, given that NO OTHER ROUNDS were available to M1 crews for almost 15 years, could these two rounds cut it all by themselves? Have a look...
