Abstract
This document is a 26 page collection of range tables prepared by Ordnance Intelligence.
Probably it is a literal translation of a Soviet manual. One of the responsibility of Army technical
intelligence agencies, like Ordnance Intelligence, was to evaluate foreign weapons and
equipment. These range tables could be used for test firing of captured Soviet equipment.

NOT E S

1.

The following notes apply to this firing table
only.

2.

The SoViet mil system differs from the U. S.
system in that the circle is divided into 6000
parts instead of 6400.
-

3.

The Soviet charges differ from the U. S. charges
in that the:
Soviet Full Charge - equals - U.8. Charge 4
SoViet Charge 3 - equals - U.S. Charge 1

4.

The probable vertical error in this table is
computed differently than in U. S. tables. It
represents the entire 5f1!, dispersion, hence it
is twice as large as a comparable figure shown
in U. S. tables. See sketch below:

U. S.

l&fo

5. These tables are a translation from the original
Soviet firing tables, however the data has not
been checked by United States A:rmy Ordnance
Corps Firing Tests.

BASIC INSTRUCTIOO

1. This publication contains firing instructions
for the l22mm self-propelled gun, model 1944 ~A-19C) ,
for the 122m self-propelled gun, model 1943 .rr.-25C) ;
and for the 122m tank gun, model 1943 CU-25 •

.

2. The 122mm self-propelled gun model 1944 (A-1SC)
has ballistic features the same as that of the l22mm
Army Corps cannon, model 1931.
The 122mm self-propelled gun model 1943, (,L,-25C)
and the 122mm tank gun, model 1943CU-25) have similar
ballistics features and are somewhat lower in comw.rison
to the 'ballistics of the self-propelled model 1944\A-19C)
Therefore, in firing these guns it is necessary to use the
same firing tables entered on page 17.
II.

SIGHt'S

1. The 122mm self-propelled gun model 1944 (1~-19C)
has the CT-18 telescopic sight for fire by direct laying;
and a panoramic sight of the 122mm Army Corps cannon,
model 1931 for fire by indirect laying.

The following scales are contained in the field of
vision of the CT-18 sight:
- the nrn EP scale for the Og')-471H shell, full
charge. This scale should be used in firing the BP-471
armor-piercing tracer shell.
- the ITr3 scale- for the shell of the same name,
charge #3. The nrn BP and theTIr 3 scales are marked
with numbers indicating distances in hundreds of meters
(delta x equals 100 meters).
- the deflection correction scale in mils (1 mil
equals 3.6 min.) the value of each division of the scale
is equal to 4 mils.
On the sight there is a designation, CT-18 for
l22mm CY. On the panoramic sight there is only a scale
of "mils" from 0 to 750 mils, each mark being equal to
2 mils.

3

!
2. The l22mm self-propelled gun, model 1943 C,ll-25C)1
has a hinged telescopic sight, the TTIl-17, for fire by
direct laying and a mechanical sight with a panoramic
attachment, and mil scale for fire by indirect la~1ng.
Earlier models of guns can be found which have a level
and a panoramic sight for firing by indirect laying.
In the field of vision of the TIlI-17 sight, we
find therrrrr and the rrr 3
scales for firing the same
shells and charges as in the case of the CT-18 sight.
In addition to this there is a,llT scale for firing
light projectiles from the,UT ~chiPo..e gun connected with
the 122mm tank gun, model 1943 ,,U-25 ). The Till-17
sight is also mounted on the l22mm taIL~ gun, model 1943

CU-25 )"

I
,Il

The
which is
division
equal to

Till... 17 sight bas a lateral correction scale
made up of marks and angles; the value of each
of the scale (between an angle and a mark) is
4 mils.

On the Sight there is a deSignation, Till-17 for the
122mm tank gun ,ll- 25

The level scale is marked in mils (1 mil equals 3.6
minutes) •
3. The l22mm tank gun, model1943C,U-25) has, as
its basic sight, the telescopic TIlI-17 sight, sim~lar to
the one used in the self-propelled gun, model 1943t,ll-25C).
Guns of earlier models. can be found baving thel0':F;'17
telescopic sight and the IIT4-17 periscope sight instead
of the Till -17sight.

and,UT scales for the same shells and charges as contained on the CT... 18 and the TTII-17 sights as well as
deflection correction scales, each diviSion being equal
to 4 mils. The adjustment of the line of sighting at 0
settings of all the Sights should be made as frequently
as possible in conformance with regulations set forth by
the service manual.

en the TIT4-17 and the 10T-l'7 sights there is a
marking TIT4-1'7 for the 122mm tank gun JJ.2E and 1 OT-l '7 .
for the 122mm tank gun .u-2B respectively.
III.

AMMUNITION

The 122mm self-propelled gun, model 1944 (1"t-19C) ,
the 122mm self-propelled su.n model 1943 CU-25G), and the
122mm tank gun, model 1943 (.n.-25 ) are supplied with shells
made for the 122mm Army Corps cannon, model 1931. These
are:
a. High explosive fragmentation shells OQ-471
and high explosive fragmentation shells O~-4 '71H ;
b.

Armor piercing tracer shells BP-4 '71 •

The full charge is placed in the shell and consists
of a main cmrge and supplementary charge #3 and two
other supplementary charges of equal weight.
Charge three consists of one main charge. In order
to obtain charge three, it is necessary to remove supplementary charge #3 and the two other supplementary
charges of equal weight from the shell.
IV.

FmING INSTRUCTIClVS

In firing high explosive fragmentation shells and
armor-piercing tracer shells by direct pointing (laying)
and using optical sight scales, the latter are used as
follows: The
is used in firing with full charges
and the TIr3
is used in firing with charge #3.

rrrn

One division of the scale equals 100 meters.
Armor pierCing projectiles with the full charge
should be used against armored targets. In the absence
of armor piercing projectiles, HE fragmentation projectiles
should be used.
In firing by indirect laying, the panoramic sight
scale or the level scale should be used. The setting for
the level scale should be taken from the firing tables
If sight sett ing" in mils.

5

·
For a level in which the horizontal position of the
barrel is equal to a 30-00 setting, it is necessary to
add 30-00 to the reading taken from the firing table.
In firing high explosive f~smentary shells with
delayed fuzes ,U-l
,the setting for the latter should
likewise be taken from the firing table.
Fuze settings in the tables are calculated for
bursts on the basis of the horizon of the weapono
The firing tables are set up and the markings of the
Sight scale are made for high explosive fragmentation
shellOCD-471H
In firing the O~-4 71

shell with full charge, a 4~
range correction should be entered; too sight should be
lowered because tm OQ-471 shell bas a greater range.
No corrections are necessary in firing with charge
because the ballistic features of the two shells in
that Case are practically the same. The shells should be
distinguished from each other by the labels, OQ-·171 and
OQ-471I-I found on the cylindrical portion of the shells.

#3

It is against regulations to fire high exp,losi ve .
howitzer fragmentation shells of steel( O~-462) and cast
iron-steel(O-162A) with all charges. TOOse shells should
be distinguished by the markings OID-lt62 and 0-462A
placed on the cylindrical surface of the shell; in addition, a black circular band is made above the rotating
band of the cast iron steel shell.
V.

SETTING OF THE FUZE AND FUZE ACTION
a

o

prM Fuze

In fuzes without caps, the lancet is set at "Off for
fragmentation shell action; for fuzes with caps the
lancet is set at "Off for high explOSion shell action;
for fuzes with caps, the lancet is set at " 3 ft for delayed high explosive action.

The Delayed

6

».-1

Fuze

The delayed fuze is used exclusively for long range
fire. Firing with a :percussion setting of the fUze should
be done only when fuzes of the second type are not available.
In case air burets are not obtained, the fuze is
set off by coming in contact with the ground. The table
of fuze settings is computed for the production of
medium altitude of bursts from the horizon of the weapon.
The ,n-l fuze has 125 divisions numbered every 10 divisions and a percussion setting marked "Yl1. It. The smallest setting of the fuze is equal to 5 divisions. It is
against regulations to fire the ,n-l:fuze at settings of 0
and less than 5 divisions, because the explosion of the
shell occurs at distances dangerously close to the gun.
Before charging in time fire and percussion fire, it is
necessary to remove the safety cap from the fuze. In
time fire, the fuze is set with a wrench by combining
the given setting of the lower r.ange scale with the red
reference line.
