What in God's name is the 25 pdr doing with sabot ammunition anyway? It fired a plain steel AP shot designed for self-protection, and although an HEAT round was developed it nevere saw service. Each gun had 8 AP rounds, The Bishop had 11 AP rounds, and the Sexton 18. Reports from France in 1940 indicated that to be really effective the 18/25 pdrs there had to withhold fire until the German tanks got to 600 yards.
