30x106mm

30x106mm refers to a specific type of ammunition. The designation breaks down as follows: the '30' indicates the diameter of the projectile in millimeters, which is 30mm. The '106' indicates the length of the cartridge case in millimeters, which is 106mm. This creates a relatively short and wide cartridge. Ammunition of this size is typically used in automatic cannons and autocannons. These weapons are often found mounted on vehicles such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, and aircraft, as well as in naval applications and anti-aircraft systems. The performance characteristics of 30x106mm ammunition, such as muzzle velocity, projectile weight, and effective range, depend on the specific projectile type (e.g., full-metal jacket, high-explosive, armor-piercing) and the weapon firing it. Due to its caliber, it is capable of delivering significant kinetic energy and destructive power, making it suitable for engaging light armored vehicles, personnel, and low-flying aircraft. While not as common as some other military calibers, 30x106mm ammunition and the weapons that fire it have been developed and employed by various military forces.
