Under Pressure, Part 2

In Part 1, we saw what happens to a tank crew when it's hit with a HEAT shell, whether that shell penetrates or not. However, getting hit with a kinetic penetrator has consequences too! Let's take a look.

"To compare, a table of measurements inside armoured compartments on impact from armour piercing and high explosive 76, 85, 100, and 122 mm shells with sensors positioned 200-1000 mm from armour, under the condition that the armour integrity was not compromised."

Caliber (mm)	Armour (mm)	Pressure (kg/cm²)	% of animals injured	Likely effect on humans
76	90	Less than 0.05	0	A human is unlikely to be seriously injured
	145
85	90	0.19-0.39	0	Hearing damage is possible
	145	0.11-0.32	0
100	135-145	[illegible]	20	Heavy injury to middle and inner ear, disturbance of internal organ and nervous system function within normal range.
	180-200	0.25-1.37
122	135	1.5-2.9	59	Possible heavy hearing damage and blast injuries to the body.
	200	0.32-2.57
	240	0.57-1.52
