Mods 1 and 2 of the 16-inch Target Projectile Mk 9 are physically the same. Different Mods distinguish products of different contractors. The Mk 9's have no spotting dye. |
|
Mk 10 is exactly like the Mk 9, except that is contains a spotting load. |
|
These target shells match the 16-inch A.P. Projectile Mk 8 in ballistics traits. |
