The M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank exemplifies American military power, firing its 120mm smoothbore cannon with devastating precision! Its primary shell, the M829A4 Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS) round, can reach speeds exceeding 1,575 meters per second (over 5,150 feet per second). This incredible velocity allows it to penetrate advanced armor systems at long ranges, showcasing not just technological superiority but the raw force behind U.S. armored warfare capabilities.
