Description

23 x 152 mm Rounds

As one of the nations leading arms brokers, we provide a variety of different 23 x 152 mm rounds that are ideal for numerous scenarios. These rounds are designed to be fired from the 23 mm ZU-23-2 and ZSU-23-4 antiaircraft gun mounts.

 

Currently, we can offer three different types of this ammunition:

 

  • 23 mm rounds with High-Explosive Incendiary Tracer Shells (HEIT): This specific round was created with the intention of engaging targets both in the air and on the ground. It comes with a self-destructive fuse that will kick into action after a slight delay. The aim is to hit the target, then cause an explosion to create more damage.

 

  • 23 mm rounds with Armor-Piercing Incendiary Tracer Shells (APIT): These bullets have been manufactured specially to help pierce the lightly armored air and ground targets in the battle zone.

 

  • 23 mm rounds with Armor-Piercing Tracer Shells for Auxilliary Barrel: These rounds also come with armor piercing capabilities and are designed for auxiliary barrels.

 

With each of these rounds, you also get the benefit of tracer shells. As a consequence, this makes your shots easier to track when they’ve been fired. This allows you to improve your accuracy after an initial round of firing or can be used to help direct other shooters towards a specific target.

 

All of these rounds meet the standard ammunition manufacturing requirements for transportation and storage. As such, you can move them around, store them, and handle them without worrying about any safety concerns. We also entirely approve these ammunition rounds for use in all weather conditions.
