Cartridges & Projectiles - Army M Series
Copyright © 2024 Andreas Parsch
Background
The U.S. Army currently designates almost every type of all-up round fired from a gun, cannon, mortar, recoilless rifle, machinegun, rifle, carbine or pistol in a single numerical model sequence. The rounds are mostly listed as "Cartridge", designating fixed or semi-fixed rounds. Most large-caliber rounds (e.g. 155 mm and 8 inch) are usually designated "Projectile", meaning rounds, where the projectile is separate from the propelling charge. Up to around the end of World War 2, most artillery cartridges and projectiles were listed as "Shell", and some types of armor-piercing rounds as "Shot". When the projectile of a cartridge is treated as a separate item (can be the case for semi-fixed cartridges), the projectile's model number is usually the same as that of the cartridge, with a few exceptions.
History
The current single series has not always been in effect. After the system of assigning consecutive M numbers within an item category had been introduced in 1925, there was a clear distinction between small arms ammunition (caliber up to .60 inch, and shotgun rounds), and larger artillery ammunition (caliber 30 mm and up, and 20 mm aircraft gun rounds). Regarding M number assignments, the two categories were handled quite differently:
- Small arms: Many types of small arms cartridges were numbered M1 and M2, for all kinds of combinations of caliber and purpose. By the mid-1940s, this had gradually given way to a single numerical series.
- Artillery: There was apparently a single numerical series for all calibers and types essentially from the beginning, but with three distinct number ranges. Low numbers up to at least M28 were almost exclusively (the only exception being an M1 service round) assigned to drill and dummy cartridges. Service rounds below caliber 155 mm received numbers from M37 and up, and projectiles with caliber 155 mm or higher had numbers beginning at M100.
It seems that at some point in the 1948/1951 time frame, possibly when the <155 mm numbering had reached M99, the large caliber series skipped a big block of numbers, and restarted at M301. Around the same time, the small arms cartridge series was extended to cover also high-explosive cartridges, which were not used to propel projectiles (e.g. impulse cartridges). Additionally, 20 mm aircraft guns were reclassed as small arms, and their cartridges were numbered accordingly. This extended small arms series continued well into the high 200s. Still later, quite possibly when reaching M300, small arms cartridges began to be numbered in the same series as the large caliber ones, creating the current common series. Non-ammunition cartridges, except some ignition cartridges, are nowadays usually designated in the CCU and BBU categories of the Aeronautical and Support Equipment Type Designation System.

Notes:
- The number M11 was apparently skipped in more than one series. Maybe this was done because of possible confusion of the numeral "11" with the roman numeral "II".
- The numbers M95, M96, M97 and M99 for a series of 20 mm aircraft gun cartridges were originally allocated during WW 2 in the artillery ammunition series. The smalls arms cartridge series eventually reached the M90+ range several years later, and by that time, 20 mm cartridges were already part of that series. Because of that, the four existing M numbers were apparently just taken over into the small arms series, thereby skipping these numbers for new allocations.

Exceptions
There are a few U.S. Army cartridges, which would appear to fit into the common cartridge/projectile M series, but have kind of "odd" numbers (much lower than one would expect if they were designated in sequence, reusing decades-old numbers).
M57 (note 1) | 120 mm Mortar HE Cartridge; for M120 Mortar |
M68 (note 1) | 120 mm Mortar WP Smoke Cartridge; for M120 Mortar |
M91 (note 1) | 120 mm Mortar Illuminating Cartridge; for M120 Mortar |
M395 (note 2) | 120 mm Mortar HE Guided Cartridge; two variants, known as PGMM (Precision Guided Mortar Munition) and APMI (Accelerated Precision Mortar Initiative) |
Notes:
- The M57, M68 and M91 cartridges are listed as so-called Non-Developmental Items (NDI), which basically means they were purchased "off-the-shelf" without modification for or by the U.S. Army. Therefore, the numbers might be taken over from the manufacturer, because the shells, which had used them originally, have been out of the inventory for decades.
- I have not found any good explanation for the XM395 designation of the PGMM and APMI cartridges.
