- Sainmhíniú " ammunition with a calibre of 75 millimetres or above, primarily used in artillery systems such as guns (including tank guns and naval guns), howitzers, mortars, and multiple-launch rocket systems" Tagairt "Council-Terminology Coordination, based on: - Chapter 3.2: Arms within the scope of the ATT (21.3.2025), ATT Monitor 2016, p. 79- Register of Conventional Arms (19.3.2025), Annex to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 46/36L, 3 January 1992"
- Nóta " - Small-calibre ammunition is defined as having a calibre (projectile diameter) of less than 20 mm, while medium-calibre ammunition is defined as having a calibre between 20 mm and 75 mm.1 For practical examples of large-, medium-, and small-calibre ammunition, please refer to the Ammunition Handbook by Nammo.2 - The understanding of ‘large-calibre’ and its definition can vary depending on the context. For example, the US Joint Program Executive Office for Armaments & Ammunition (JPEO A&A) includes 50 mm calibre in its classification of large caliber ammunition.3 - One of the most commonly used large-calibre standards within NATO is the 155 mm calibre, in contrast to the Russian 152 mm standard. In 2022, Ukraine entered the war equipped with Soviet/Russian howitzers that employ 152 mm calibre ammunition, but it has gradually been receiving heavy artillery from NATO countries, which use the 155 mm calibre (for example, the United States’ M777 towed howitzer).4"
