M830A1 HEAT-MP-T, M908 HE-OR-T, M1002 TPMP-T (Abrams Ammunition)

UPDATE 8-1-2026: The model is standardized with other NATO 120 mm rounds.

🔎General Information

This is a detailed 3D model for three of the U.S. Abrams tank ammunition: 120mm M830A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank Multi-Purpose Tracer (HEAT-MP-T, or MPAT), M908 High Explosive Obstacle Reduction (HE-OR-T, or MPAT-OR), and M1002 Target Practice Multipurpose Projectile - Tracer (TPMP-T, or MPAT-TP-T). These rounds are designed for use with the M256 gun on M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams tanks and other NATO tanks. It is suitable for 3D printing and animations.

The 120mm M908 round is primarily used to reduce concrete obstacles into rubble that is small enough to be cleared by either unit organic equipment or external support. Live-fire test results have shown that this round is also effective against concrete bridge pylons. Units now have the capability to destroy bridges or damage them enough to greatly hinder their carrying capacities. This action could be used to create an obstacle that would greatly restrict or impede enemy movement.

The 120mm M830A1 cartridge is effective against light armor, air defense and materiel. This round is fired from the M256 120mm cannon mounted on the Abrams tank. Appropriate targets include lightly armored vehicles with reactive armor, helicopters, buildings, and bunkers, the side and rear aspects of tanks, and dismounted anti-tank and automatic weapons teams. The fixed round utilizes a combustible cartridge case affixed to a steel stub and loaded with granular propellant. The fin-stabilized, high chrome alloy steel projectile body is press-loaded with explosive, a precision copper liner and booster. The base element is armed during launch and initiated by an impact switch, or proximity sensor, depending upon the operational mode selected by the tank crew. Arming is accomplished through the ballistic environment of firing, set back, and deceleration.

The 120mm M1002 is a target practice cartridge that simulates the size, weight, ballistics and the loader's function of setting the nose switch of the M830A1 multi-purpose chemical energy cartridge. This cartridge is fired from the M256 120mm smooth bore cannon on the M1A1/M1A2/M1A2 SEP Abrams Tank. The projectile is inert and composed of an aluminum body, steel nose with dummy plastic switch, aluminum conical stabilizer, aluminum sabot, nylon obturators and tracer. The stabilizer imparts spin to the projectile in flight for stabilization and provides the mechanism to limit the projectile's maximum range.
