70mm practice from apache helicopters,, ill try find the uk tech manual for you

some stuff from the manual , L1a1 is the designation from 2004 it may have changed since then..

The Rocket System 70 mm Practice L1A1 is a free flight air-to-ground rocket with
an inert warhead. It is designed for use as a training substitute for the range of explosive
filled 70 mm rockets. It is fitted into and fired from a Lightweight Rocket Launcher
M261 mounted on the Apache Attack Helicopter. Each aircraft can carry four launchers
of 19 rockets giving a possible full load of 76 rockets.

.I guess with that level of ID most small arms ammo would be medium calibre cannon....

mm,maybe a sub calibre!,70mm verses 125mm (2.75" v 5.0")
