Inert 30mm HEDP M789 Round

Add a piece of modern military history to your collection with this inert 30mm HEDP (High Explosive Dual Purpose) M789 round, originally designed for the U.S. Army’s AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. This deactivated round, marked as "30MM HEDP M789," is a rare find for military enthusiasts, collectors, and historians alike. The M789 was the primary tactical round for the Apache’s M230 chain gun, known for its dual-purpose capability—combining high-explosive fragmentation for anti-personnel effects with a shaped charge for penetrating light armor, capable of defeating up to 50mm of rolled homogeneous armor at 2,500 meters.

This particular round is inert, meaning it has been professionally deactivated and contains no live explosives or propellant, making it completely safe for display or educational purposes. The projectile features its original blue paint (indicating its inert status) with some natural wear and markings, including "30MM HEDP M789" and a lot number "013" on the brass casing, adding to its authenticity. The round measures approximately 7 inches in length and showcases the rugged design of modern military ammunition.

Perfect for display in a military collection, man cave, or as a unique conversation piece, this M789 round represents the cutting-edge technology used in modern warfare. It comes from a well-maintained collection and has been stored carefully to preserve its condition. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of aviation and military history!
