12.7x107mm ammo markings
« on: November 15, 2005, 10:48:57 PM »
I need info for color coding on 12.7mm DShk ammunition. Specifically, what color painted on the bullet tip means AP, what means tracer, etc. My internet speed is pretty slow, so I haven't been able to surf around enough to find what I need. Does anyone have a link I can jump to?

This is a question Estel or Bororda can answer for sure.

There was: B-30(AP), B-32 (API), BZF-46(API, Phosfor), BZT-44(APIT). Also there is MDZ (Incendiary, momentary ignition) and BS-41(named BS after 1972). BS-41 is the same as B-32 but for more width armour.

Color code:
B-30 Black cone.
B-32 Black cone and red line(sometimes brown line).
BZT-44 Purple cone and red line.
BZF-46 Yellow cone and black line.
MDZ solid red bullet (? I'm not sure about it).
BS-41 Black cone and large red line.

B-30 GL is not in production or use now.
