🔎General Information

This is a detailed 3D model of the United States M829A3 Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) kinetic energy penetrator. It is excellent for display and training purposes, and can also be used in documentary animations or enthusiast projects.

The M829A3 cartridge is a Kinetic Energy (KE), armor piercing, fin stabilized, discarding sabot, fixed round with tracer (APFSDS-T). This antitank round is intended for use in the M256 smooth bore gun and is designed to provide terminal effectiveness over the M829A2 cartridge.

The M829A3 is a U.S. design/developed 120mm APFSDS-T cartridge. The complete round contains a propulsion/ignition system and inert projectile which is similar to the M829A2. The propulsion/ignition system consists of combustible cartridge case with a metal cartridge case base, the RPD-380 propellant consisting of 19-perforated stick, 7-perforated stick, and 43 perforated hexagonal stick, and M123A1 electric primer containing black powder base charge.
