Armored crewman from 2nd Battalion, 69th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, load their M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank with the M829 120mm Sabot Rounds also known as the "Silver Bullet" during a table VI Gunnery April 18, at Konotop range Drawsko Pomorskie Training Area, Poland. All 120mm rounds use a common combustible case that structurally combines the ammunition's components prior to firing and is completely consumed during firing. The combustible case is the primary reason for the superior interior ballistics performance of the 120mm ammunition. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Andres Chandler)
