Abstract

Experiments of high velocity impact have been carried out with 30 mm armoured piercing projectiles on 55 mm thick hard steel plate. Angle of impact has been varied from 10" to 90". Damage inflicted on target with varying angle of impact has been reported and discussed in this paper. Comparative behaviour with 20 mm APP shot has also been discussed.
