This handbook provides brief data on the configuration of ammunition for American and British artillery systems and mortars in service with the Red Army. For the convenience of using the handbook, the ammunition configuration tables are arranged by caliber, and information on symbols is highlighted in separate appendices. These applications allow, by external signs and conventions applied to the surface of a shot or its element, to make a first idea of ​ ​ its characteristic features, purpose and properties. Refer to sourcing tables or related chapters for complete information.
