155 Millimeter Projectile And Propelling Charge

The 155 Millimeter Projectile and Propelling Charge are components of ammunition used in military artillery systems.

The 155 Millimeter Projectile refers to the actual shell or round that is fired from a 155mm artillery gun. It typically consists of a metal casing filled with explosives, a fuse mechanism, and sometimes additional components such as shrapnel or smoke-producing agents. The projectile is designed to be fired at high velocities and deliver its payload to a target.

The Propelling Charge, on the other hand, is the component responsible for propelling the projectile out of the artillery gun. It is essentially a cartridge or a set of propellant charges that generate the necessary force to launch the projectile. The propelling charge is typically made up of combustible materials, such as gunpowder or other propellant substances, which rapidly burn and produce a large volume of gas to propel the projectile.

Both the 155 Millimeter Projectile and Propelling Charge fall under the supply class Ammunition, specifically in the category of ammunition over 125mm. This supply class categorizes various types of ammunition used in military operations, including artillery rounds, rockets, missiles, and other explosive devices.

Furthermore, these components belong to the supply group Ammunition and Explosives, which encompasses a wide range of ammunition types and explosive materials used by military forces. This group includes items such as small arms ammunition, artillery ammunition, bombs, grenades, and other explosive devices.

It is important to note that the use and handling of these components require specialized training and adherence to strict safety protocols.
