Historical Significance:
The 90mm M82 APC-T round was specifically designed to penetrate thick, reinforced armor at medium to long ranges, making it a primary round for the M26 Pershing and M46 Patton tanks during and after World War II. This round features an armor-piercing capped design utilizing a ballistic cap, which improved its aerodynamics and penetration capability.
The M82 round played a pivotal role in armored warfare, demonstrating effectiveness against heavy German armor during the later stages of World War II and continuing to be a key ammunition type during the Korean War. Its tracer component allowed gunners to track the round's trajectory visually, ensuring accuracy in intense combat situations.
