Egy szabvány 100mm-es gránát 1100mm körül van típustól függően, a BMP 100mm-es lőszere meg nem sokkal hosszabb mint egy másfél literes ásványvvizes flakon.
Aham....
The first 100mm round available to the original BMP-3. The cartridge includes a 3OF32 HE-Frag shell directly transplanted from the 100mm 3UOF11 cartridge, which was used in the D-10T cannon on the T-54 series of tanks beginning from 1970's. As such, the BMP-3 can be said to possess the firepower of a tank to some degree.
