1- off M 490 / 105 mm (4,1 inch) Heat - Brass Shell Casing

HEAT - High Explosive Anti-Tank

Manufactured in 1980

The 105 mm caliber is a common NATO-standard artillery and tank gun caliber. It's used in various applications, including artillery guns and tank guns. Some notable examples of 105 mm artillery guns include the M101 howitzer and the L118 light gun.

The G7 is a South African 105 mm howitzer, produced by Denel Land Systems (DLS). With a maximum range of 32 km, it outranges all existing 105 mm howitzers, as well as most current 155 mm howitzers (Denel's own 155's not included). During development, it was known as the Light Experimental Ordnance (LEO), with the G7 label being chosen later to fit in with Denel's two existing howitzer products, the G5 towed 155 mm howitzer and the G6 self-propelled 155 mm howitzer.
