The M829A4 is a fifth-generation APFSDS-T cartridge using a depleted-uranium penetrator with a three-petal composite sabot; the penetrator includes a low-drag fin with a tracer and a windshield and tip assembly. [11] Its propellant maintains consistent muzzle velocities across operational temperatures from −25 to 145 °F (−32 to 63 °C).
Stock tanks can be repurposed as backyard pools, or "stock tank pools," using chlorine tabs and a filter pump. Stock tanks are increasingly used as "rustic" backyard above-ground pools, or "stock tank pools" by retrofitting a filter pump [4] and adding chlorine or stabilized hydrogen peroxide [5] to keep the water clean throughout the summer.

Because of its high density, depleted uranium can also be used in tank armor, sandwiched between sheets of steel armor plate. For instance, some late-production M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams tanks built after 1998 have DU modules integrated into their Chobham armor , as part of the armor plating in the front of the turret, and there is a program to ...
120×570mm NATO tank ammunition (4.7 inch), also known as 120×570mmR, is a common, NATO-standard (STANAG 4385), tank gun semi-combustible cartridge used by 120mm smoothbore guns, superseding the earlier 105×617mmR cartridge used in NATO-standard rifled tank guns.
Stack Tank Oil (STO) density (or API) may also be used by regulatory bodies to classify oil and oil products. Other properties such as Molecular Weight, saturated aromatic resin and asphaltene (SARA), refractive index, wax appearance temperature, asphaltene precipitation, and acid number, are also specified at Stock Tank conditions.

Vladimir Putin is worried that a modest number of depleted uranium tank shells being supplied for 14 tanks donated to Ukraine amount to nuclear escalation.
The caliber of ammunition – .45 (.45 pistol or submachinegun - cartons), .30C (.30 Carbine – cartons), .30R (.30 Rifle – clips or cartons), .30M (.30 Machinegun – belted or linked ammo), or .50 (Machinegun - linked or cartons) – was embossed in raised letters and numbers on the metal lid so they could be identified by touch under low ...
