Ammunition
The Pvpj 1110 is designed to fire fixed-fin stabilised HEAT rounds with tracers. The Swedish designation for these rounds are spårljuspansarspränggranat (slpsgr), literally translated into traced armor-blowing shell, or armor-defeating explosive shell with tracer.[3] The ammunition consists of a projectile inserted into a patronhylsa m/59 brass casing to form a complete cartridge with its own projectile-specific designation.
- Spårljuspansarspränggranat m/62, a 10.7 kg HEAT round that penetrates 380 mm of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA).
- Spårljusövningsgranat m/62, 10.7 kg practice round (no explosive filling) with tracer.
- Laddblindpatron m/1959, an inert round for handling and loading training purposes.[4]
- Spårljuspansarspränggranat m/77, an 11.2 kg HEAT round that penetrates 500 mm of RHA.
- Spårljuspansarspränggranat m/84, a 10 kg HEAT round that penetrates 800 mm of RHA.
During the development of the Infanterikanonvagn 91, the same projectiles would be used, although with different cases, to form the ammunition for the low-pressure main gun. This newly designed gun was not recoilless, and as such necessitated cases with a regular case bottom as opposed to the blow-out recoilless design of the patronhylsa m/59 case.
