Historical Significance:

The 37mm M55A1 Target Practice Round was a crucial component in the training and preparation of U.S. military forces during World War II. Designed for use with the M1, M1A2, and M9 autocannons, this round was engineered to replicate the weight and flight characteristics of High Explosive ammunition, allowing gunners to practice loading, aiming, and firing under realistic conditions. The inclusion of the M50 dummy fuze provided an additional layer of safety and realism, ensuring comprehensive training for military personnel.

The M1 autocannon was widely used in various combat roles, mounted on vehicles and naval vessels. The M1A2 provided enhanced performance and reliability, while the M9 autocannon, introduced later in the war, offered further advancements in firepower and versatility. The 37mm practice rounds fired by these guns were essential in preparing gunners for the demands of real combat, ensuring they were proficient and confident in their abilities.
