This round is fired from the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) and the Marine Lightly Armoured Vehicle (LAV). The M791 APDS-T is used for armour penetration and the M792 HEI-T is used for anti-personnel and soft target defeat. These combat rounds received excellent feedback during Operation Desert Storm.All rounds are interchangeable with the M242 Bushmaster gun, the KBA B02B automatic cannon, the GE525 (GAU-12/U) Gatling gun, and other NATO-qualified systems.
- The M791 APDS-T round possesses the accuracy and performance necessary to defeat today's threats. Its high velocity, coupled with a low time of flight, assures effective results at extended ranges.
- The M792 HEI-T round offers the accuracy and performance needed for light materiel and fire suppression. This round is fuzed with the M758 Point Detonating Self-Destruct (PDSD) fuze, developed and produced exclusively by Alliant Techsystems. The M758 provides superior arming delay, graze and extended range sensitivity, and self-destruct compared to existing medium caliber fuzes.
- The M793 TP-T is a low cost, target practice cartridge, ballistically matched to the M792 HEI-T round.
