30 × 173 mm MP-T/SD
Multipurpose cartridge 30 x 173 mm MP-T/SD was developed for use with guns Bushmaster II/MK44 and Mauser MK 30-2. The cartridge complies with requirements of STANAG 4624 Ed.1 for 30 x 173 mm ammunition and other related documents.
The projectile has low velocity drop during flight due to a low drag shape and ignites on target impact. If the projectile does not hit the target, the self-destruct device will detonate the projectile. The projectile delivers heavy fragments and incendiary effect inside the target on impact, while having significant penetration effect as well. The projectile is painted yellow with black marking.
