| Shot and projectile number | Projectile mass (kg) | Striking velocity (m/s) | Pitch yaw (degrees) | Penetration depth (m) |
| SNL-00-11/3 | 12.923 | 238.1 | 0.1D/0.0 | 0.30 | SNL-00-12/4 | 12.900 | 275.7 | 0.1D/0.4L | 0.38 | SNL-00-09/1 | 12.910 | 314.0 | 0.2D/0.2R | 0.45 | SNL-00-10/2 | 12.914 | 369.5 | 3.6U/2.5L | 0.53 |
