Учебная программа курса - Identifying Ammunition

Subcourse MM 2598, Edition 7, United States Army Combined Arms Support Command, Fort Lee, Virginia 23801-1809, 4 Credit Hours. In the preceding subcourse (MM2597), you leaed how to interpret ammunition markings and color codes. Now suppose, for example, a using unit tus in ammunition that has been removed from its original containers and there are no markings or the markings have been obliterated. How are you going to determine what the ammunition is? If the color code paint is still present, you may know that it is high-explosive ammunition; but how can you tell if it is a mortar round, a rocket, or an artillery projectile? Positive identification of ammunition is of vital importance to an ammunition specialist. If you issue the wrong ammunition item or place the wrong types of ammunition together in a storage stack, the results could be disastrous. This subcourse is designed to teach you methods of quick identification by type and use (by physical characteristics) of all types of ammunition items.
