Default Re: prototype gun

E=MC2

One can assume given a penetrator of the same mass and material that 2000 m/s vs 1555 m/s would produce 22% better results. As mentioned this new Chinese gun has a higher velocity then either the German or American, but the American uses a heavier penetrator.

The real question is - How much better (if at all) is the penetration?
