context_page_description: The M795 155mm projectile is the US Army and US Marine Corps' standard 155mm High Explosive projectile for howitzers. It is a bursting round with fragmentation and blast effects.
  The M795 is designed to be a more lethal, longer range version of the M107. A welded band replaces the swaged rotating band of the M107, allowing the M795 to be fired with M119 or M203 propelling charges, increasing range by 6,000 meters. The explosive payload was also improved, as was the fragmentation pattern, giving 30% higher lethality.
