	Ammunition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ammunition for infantry refers to the ammunition carried by a typical foot (infantry) soldier.
		One hundred rounds of the Martini-Henry ammunition weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces (4.8 kg); the same weight gives 155 rounds of 0.303 in (7.7 mm) ammunition and at 0.256 in (6.5 mm) the number of rounds is still greater.
		Naval ammunition is therefore optimized for great velocity (to reach those great ranges, to hit aircraft flying at altitude and also with the benefit of reducing the lead that has to be applied to hit a distant moving target) and to disable said machines, rather than rending human flesh.

	General Accounting Office
		DOD determined that the primary threat future U.S. artillery systems would encounter is target acquisition radars and other reconnaissance and surveillance systems that would enable an enemy to quickly locate and return fire once a howitzer starts firing.
		To be successful against this threat, the Army determined that it would need an artillery system that could provide accurate and lethal fire from longer ranges than the current systems and that could move and generate combat firepower quickly to evade enemy counterfire.
		No existing artillery system has an automated resupply vehicle; therefore, most cannot meet the Crusader key performance parameter for a less than 12-minute resupply and all systems do not have the survivability advantages of being able to resupply without the crew leaving the vehicles.
