The G6 self-propelled howitzer is a South African artillery piece, developed around the ordnance of the G5 howitzer. It is one of the most powerful self-propelled guns on a wheeled chassis. In addition to the logistical mobility afforded by a wheeled chassis, the G6 is protected against counter battery fire and is able to defend itself in an unsecured area. The chassis is mine-protected. The G6 is produced in South Africa by the Land Systems division of Denel. It entered production in 1987. ==Ammunition characteristics== *Maximum range: * * 30,000 m with standard HE rounds, * * 39,000 m with HE base bleed rounds, and * * 42,000 m with HE base bleed rounds (BB—fired from G6-52) * * 50,000 m with HE base bleed rounds (BB—fired from G6-52 extended range) * * 52,500 m with a special velocity-enhanced long range projectile (V-LAP—fired from G6). * * 58,000 m with a special velocity-enhanced long range projectile (V-LAP—fired from G6-52). * * 67,450 m M9703A1 V-LAP round (tested successfully to 73,000 m by Denel in G6-52 extended range platform) *Minimum range: 3,000 m. *Rate of fire: 4 round/min, 2 round/min sustained. *Ammunition: 155 mm ERFB. 47 rounds, 50 charges, 64 primers and fuzes *Accuracy: 0.1% of range in azimuth, 0.48% of range in range *In 2012 four rounds of M982 Excalibur precision guided munitions were fired to a range of 38 km, all landing within 5 m of the target.〔http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-290906341.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「G6 howitzer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
