Hi,

The picture below extracted from "Challenger 1 armament training pamphlet" from 1945 shows a HE projectile different from those in this thread (fert and rickwedlock)
Is is just because it's a poor drawing, or is it a different variant ?

Cheers,

Very surprising that there is no APDS pictured in the manual (or is it on a separate page?). Maybe they just forgot to update the ammo section when they reprinted it?

It's on another page. The full doc is available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wdgs-report-45-1-30234064

Are any for sale ?

Picked up an APDS round last week. Paint is not the best but given the rarity of these i don't mind.

Nice projectile, but I think the case has been cut down.

Yeah, you're right I think. It's marked APC anyway, so I'll keep looking for a proper APDS case (although I doubt those are any more common than the projectile unfortunately).

What does the A.P.P.S actually stand for?

 

[tankbarrell]

APDS stands for Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot.

tankbarrell, thanks for the info but I'm really wondering about APPS from the post by SG500 in post number 64.

 

[tankbarrell]

I did wonder as I thought you must know what apds stood for! I looked for apps in this thread but didn't go back far enough...

 

[tankbarrell]

Could it be Armour Piercing Pot Sabot?

 

[37patt]

Thanks again tankbarrell, I was thinking along the same line as in Armour Piercing Potted Shot but Pot Sabot does make more sense.

Hi, yes as confirmed above, my understanding is APPS is Armour Piercing Pot Sabot.

Thank you as well SG500, now I can remove the question mark in my book.
One more mark identified.
