Until the late 1980s, the M61 primarily used the M50 series of ammunition in various types, typically firing a 99-gram (3.5 oz) projectile at a muzzle velocity of about 1,030 metres per second (3,380 ft/s).
Each standard tracked vehicle is also defined in terms of track width, length, and spacing. Standard wheeled vehicles are designated by the same MLC numbers (4 through 150), which correspond to about 85% of the gross weight in short tons.

The core of the M134D was a steel housing and rotor. To focus on weight reduction, a titanium housing and rotor were introduced, creating the M134D-T which had reduced weight from 62 lb (28 kg) to 41 lb (19 kg). The gun housing had a 500,000-round lifespan before it wore out, which was far higher than a conventional machine gun's 40,000-round ...
The NATO official said the attacks on the refineries are having a “significant” impact, disrupting as much as 15% of Russia’s refinery capacity. Rebuilding that capacity will likely take ...
Each gun weighed 6.5 short tons (5.9 t) and could originally only be elevated up to 40 degrees but were later modified to be elevated up to 60 degrees. [1] Originally gun ports in the turret faces were cut to allow only 41 degrees elevation, though during World War II all triple 6-inch/47 gun ports were ordered to be modified to permit the full ...
Items like jack stands are categorized by weight. A 2-ton jack stand will only support a small, lightweight vehicle — whereas a 5- or 6-ton jack can typically support the largest trucks and SUVs ...
