The shell is fired from the 10.5 cm gun howitzer (10,5 cm l.F.H. 18). A dome-shaped impact cap with a fuze-hole at the top is fitted to the shell, which has a single bi-metal driving band. Two cannelure are formed between the driving band and the base. The shell and cap are painted the usual dark olive green with a red band immediately above the driving band. The numeral "95", painted in black on the impact cap, indicates the na-ture of filling. The overall length of the shell with fuze A.Z. 38 is approximately 15.3 in-ches and the filled weight 25.5 lb.

The cap and the shell with its central tube are similar to those described for the shell from the 7.5 cm tank gun. The cavity liner differs in being cone-shaped with a rounded base.

The bursting charge weighs 3 lb. 4 oz. 10 dr. and consists of 3 blocks of hot pressed cyclonite, T.N.T. and wax, the percentage of each being approximately 56.8, 40.3 and 2.9 respectively. A channel is formed through the blocks for the central tube connecting the fuze to the gaine and the "hollow" cavity is formed in the head of the upper block. The lower block has a cavity at the base to accommodate the gaine. The three blocks are contained in a waxed paper carton with a base piece of moulded plastic which is shaped to fit the base of the shell cavity. The carton is attached to the wall of the shell by a bituminous composition.

The fuze-hole and the filling appear to be designed for the fuze A.Z. 38 and the gaine Zdlg. 40 as used with the shell for the 7.5 cm tank gun. Description of the fuze and gaine are included in this pamphlet.

The estimated perforation of homgeneous armour is 95 mm at the normal and 80 mm at 30 degrees to the normal.
