This Q.F. fixed round is used in the 7.5 cm anti-tank gun Model 41, as far as is known for practice only. The overall length of the round is 30 inches, and it weighs approximately 17 lb. The exterior of the shell including the ballistic cap is painted black, except the ed-ges and forward faces of the skirts which appeared to be coated with a graphitic lubri-cant. The letter W is stencilled in white on the shot body.

A.P.B.C. shot with tracer.

Case stamped with the model number 6344.

Propellant charge of double base composition with igniter.

Primer percussion C/12 n.A. St.

The total weight of the shot is 5 lb. 7 1/2 oz. It consists of a solid soft steel with two skirts, tracer and ballistic cap. The skirts are integral with the shot. The rear skirt is can-nelured circumferentially for the attachment of the case, and the base is bored centrally and screwthreaded internally to receive the tracer. Six equidis-tant holes approximately 0.24 inch in diameter are bored through the forward skirt. The hardness of the body is almost uniform between 90 and 110 V.D.H. The steel ballistic cap is attached to the shot by two rows of spot welds. The space between the nose of the shot and the ballistic cap is void.

The propellant charge is similar to that described in the Pzgr.Patr. 41 Hk. round, except-ing the diameter of the sticks and the weight of the short ones. The long sticks weighed 2,000 grams and the short ones 666 grams.
