40mm CTA, 105mm, 120mm, 155mm, 81mm mortar, 12.7mm plus small arms ammunition is all produced in the UK.Timmymagic wrote: ↑10 Sep 2023, 11:49 We had the chance to really standardise and we blew it....
We should have had...
27mm - Including on RN vessels...the German's managed it...would also fit in the F-35 gun pod if we ever purchased any...
40mm CT - RN and Army
105mm - Army and RM
120mm Tank - Army
155mm - RN, RM and Army - Using the TMF designs
Add in 40mm grenade, 51/60 Mortar, 81mm Mortar and 120mm Mortar and thats it....thats all the explosive carrying gun/indirect fire calibres you need. The only other calibre I'd be willing to see would be 76mm on smaller vessels and in Army use as an AA gun...(like the Otomatic). But thats marginal....
BAE also produce 114mm naval, but I'm not sure if that is in the UK
