Talk:125 mm smoothbore ammunition

Comments

Penetration: 380 mm at 0 degrees @ 2000 m, 200 mm at 60 degrees @ 2000 m,

The at sign (@) is used for prices of groceries and in email addresses, but not as a general abbreviation for "at". Should this be changed to "Penetration: 380 mm at 0° at 2000 m, 200 mm at 60° at 2000 m"? —Michael Z. 2006-07-26 15:49 Z

Sure - when I created the page a long time ago, I hadn't yet seen the light of the MoS. Megapixie 22:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Suggested move to 125 mm smoothbore ammunition

"Rounds" is used for counting a supply of ammunition, like head of cattle. This title ought to be 125 mm smoothbore ammunition. Any objection to the move? —Michael Z. 2006-09-26 03:12 Z

None what so ever. Megapixie 07:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

This is far closer to a list than an article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Move proposal to "List of 125 mm smoothbore ammunition"

I suggest this page be moved to the above title, as this appears to be a list, rather than a general article. As such, I would also suggest an general article titled "125 mm caliber" (or similar) also be created. If this page isn't meant be just a list, please just say so, and we can all then work to improve it. Many thanks, RadiculousJ (talk) 06:48, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

• I think this is a worthwhile suggestion, have one general article and have this being the specific one to list the ammunition used by guns of that calibre specifically, maybe even just call that article 125 mm in the vein of the 155 mm article? — Nohomers48 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

About penetration value measurement standard

I read some people state the 50% in NATO standard means "50% of the penetrator length should go through" instead of "penetration probability of 50%". Is this real and any solid source? To me, the probability one makes more sense since "According to authorities like Paul Lakowski, the difference in performance can reach as much as 8%". I don't know who is Paul Lakowski. But according to SPH simulations, penetration value is proportional to the length of penetrator, thus the difference should be as much as 0.8/0.5-1 = 60%. Rcmcpe (talk) 12:49, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

May be a DU going by other code numbers.©Geni (talk) 00:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
