IMI
introduced a third generation of its Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized
Discarding Sabbot (APFSDS) round designated M-338. The new round
improves the Kinetic energy (KE) penetrator's performance of
primary 120mm anti-tank rounds, and is suitable for all types of guns
(including L44). M-338 uses a tungsten core designed for improved
penetration and performance. Using new Low Vulnerability (LOVA)
propellant enabled IMI to increase the M-338's muzzle velocity with large
safety margin while maintaining precision and operability over the
entire temperature range defined by STANAG criteria. IMI used a uniquely
designed tungsten alloy core, with unique mechanical properties and
sabot design to improve accuracy at all combat ranges.|
