Collimatrix Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 3 hours ago, heretic88 said: Yes, unfortunately, these statements are useless. I dont even understand why these are used, maybe marketing? In the same concept, it can be concluded that the M-60A1 is protected vs 125mm guns... There are huge differences between 30mm projectiles, ranging from the very underpowered 3UBR6 (which is significantly weaker than some then-contemporary 20mm projectiles) to the very powerful APFSDS of the MK30 for example. Exact type of gun and ammunition is needed to evaluate protection. Agreed, it is not a very useful statement, but you see this sort of marketing statement all the time. How often do you see the statement that a vehicle is protected against 23mm armor-piercing ammunition? 23x115mm API is some pretty weak stuff.

Which is why it's used in advertising, because STANAG 4569 level 5 demands 14.5 as a baseline, but 23mm sounds more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple really, hit something really firm at a high speed. Tank roadwheels are tough, but not invulnerable. Something like hitting a railroad track side on at speed may well cause a dent like that.
