14.5mm AP vs Bradley IFV | Armor Penetration Simulation
Simulation showing the effectiveness of M2 Bradley IFV armor against small-caliber armor-piercing shells. Using a 14.5mm BS-41 shell as an example.
14.5mm BS-41 at 1000m/s (p.b. velocity for most guns)
vs
M2 Bradley side hull armor:
2x 6mm High Hardness Armor + 25.4mm aluminum 7039 at 30° side angle
BS-41 contains tungsten carbide core, incendiary at the front, lead body + jacket
This shell has its origins in World War II, but is still used today and can pose a threat to lightly armored AFVs.
