history
After the Second World War, which was automatic cannon Nudelman-Suranow NS-23 from the NS-37 Nudelman-Suranow derived. The cartridge for this weapon was created by expanding the 14.5 × 114 mm machine gun cartridge to 23 mm. The cartridge had a powder charge of 33 g and fired a 200 g bullet which reached a muzzle velocity of 690 m / s. This cartridge was also used in the Nudelman-Richter NR-23 guns.
In 1954, the ammunition for the on-board cannons of the type Grjasew-Schipunow GSch-23 and Afanasjew-Makarow AM-23 was upgraded. With a powder charge of up to 38 g and a lighter projectile, this now reached a muzzle velocity of 720 m / s. The case wall was reinforced to withstand the increased gas pressure, and new types of bullets and a new fuse were introduced. This ammunition is marked with a white ring on the case to avoid mix-ups. The Grjasew-Schipunow GSch-6-23 , which is still in use today, also uses this ammunition.
