Historical Significance:

The M80 Armor Piercing Shot with Tracer (AP-T) Round was a crucial component in the U.S. military’s anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities during World War II. Designed for use with the M1, M1A2, and M9 autocannons, this round was engineered to penetrate enemy armor. At the same time, the tracer element allowed gunners to track the projectile’s trajectory and adjust their aim accordingly. These features made the M80 AP-T Round a formidable weapon against ground and aerial targets.

The M1 autocannon was widely used in various combat roles, mounted on vehicles, and naval vessels. The M1A2 enhanced performance and reliability, while the M9 autocannon, introduced later in the war, offered further advancements in firepower and versatility. The 37mm rounds fired by these guns were essential in numerous engagements, particularly in providing anti-aircraft defense and destroying lightly armored vehicles.
