Abstract
USAHEL conducted the Rate of Fire Study to: (1) measure the effects of projectile weight on rates of fire and (2) determine realistic maximum rate of fire information for the three howitzers tested. The three howitzers were the 105mm M101A1, the 155mm M114A1, and the 122mm, D-30. The data showed no degradation in firing rate over 60 round missions fired as fast as the crews could load ammunition. This was true for all weapons tested. (Author)
