Fancy Military stuff

It's a shame we can't access the toys they buy with our money but dreams are free.
Imagine what these bad boys are worth.

I've lifted the following from the interwebs.

APEX Ammunition

The APEX round is equipped with an explosive-filled warhead that utilizes a delayed initiation mechanism, delivering a powerful combination of blast, fragmentation, and incendiary effects directly inside the target. Additionally, the projectile features a nose-mounted tungsten carbide penetrator for improved penetration capability.

The PGU-47/U projectile weighs 222 grams and has a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s (3182 fps) when fired from the F-35. It offers a maximum dispersion of less than 0.5 mils from a single barrel.

It can penetrate 14 mm of steel at a 45° angle at 9,000 feet or 8 mm of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) at the same angle and altitude.

The tracer has a burn time of over 3 seconds, and the projectile is designed to operate within a service temperature range of -62°C to +80°C. It has been qualified for use in the F-35A.

Dual-safety fuze (FMU-171/U) to ensure safe arming at a distance from the aircraft, with a detonation delay upon target impact.

By way of information, anyone with a firearms certificate can buy tracer ammunition in the UK. There might be range orders which don't allow it to be used, but you can buy it. And it is cheaper than regular ammo in AU! https://www.ammo-zone.co.uk/product-pag ... 78-100-rds
