| Description: |
|---|
| The cartridge is similar in appearance and is ballistically matched to the high-explosive plastic round M393A1 and M393A2. The projectile is filled with inert material and has a tracer at the base. The projectile is assembled to a steel cartridge case fitted with the same model (M86) electric primer as the service round and contains the same type bagged propelling charge. |
| Use: |
|---|
| This cartridge is for use in 105mm gun cannons for training in marksmanship. |
| Functioning: |
|---|
| When the weapon is fired, the electrically initiated primer ignites the propelling charge. Gases produced by the burning propellant propel the projectile from the gun and ignite the tracer, enabling the gunner in tracking the target. |
