Abstract:

A ballistic test program was conducted and the results were statistically evaluated to compare nitrocellulose mortar increment containers made by both the paper molding process and the slurry process. These containers were for the M204 propelling charges for the 60-mm mortars and for the M205 propelling charges for the 81-mm mortars.
