countries it is a bursting round with fragmentation and blast effects it used to be the standard 155 mm high explosive projectile for howitzers of the us army and us marine corps but is being superseded in the us military by the m795 development edit the m107 is a development of the m102 155 mm shell that was developed in the 1930s from the french schneider 155 mm projectile for the model 1917 howitzer description edit this article needs more citations please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and removed find sources

b painted olive drab with yellow markings 1 a fuze adapter is screwed into the body and brazed in place an eyebolt lifting plug is screwed into the fuze well to assist in transportation the plug is removed and replaced with a fuze for firing the complete projectile weighs 43 2 kg 95 lb is 800 mm 31 in long and contains 15 8 explosive by weight it is a separate loading projectile propellant bags or modular artillery charge system macs charges are loaded separately the m107 can be fired more than 10 miles 16 km and on detonation it produces approximately 1 950 fragments the m107 was approved for use in 1958 and issued to the army from 1959 its intended replacement is the m795 manufacture of which began in 1999 the m198 howitzer can fire an m107 up to 18 5 km 11 5 mi using m4a2 white bag propellant modified m107 rounds with base bleed and new aerodynamics can extend this range to around 32 km 20 mi despite relatively lackluster performance jane s describes it as having an indifferent charge to weight ratio unsophisticated aerodynamic shape erratic fragmentation compared to more modern high explosive rounds it continues to be used by many countries in particular in training exercises because of its low cost high availability and smaller danger area than more modern designs its limited effectiveness also make it a useful option in peace support operations the m107 is manufactured by several nations sometimes with variations in the fill and or filling method or other details and is given a national designation for example those produced to uk requirements are designated l21 not m107 german examples were designated dm21 by the 1970s the m107 was an out of date design 2 and some european armies started replacing their war stocks with modern designs such as l15 however the m107 was retained for training purposes because it was cheap and being less lethal had a smaller peacetime safety area an important consideration given the small european training areas specifications edit maximum range fired from m1 m1a1 cannon on m114 m114a1 towed howitzers with charge 7 fired from m126 m126a1 cannon on m109 self propelled howitzers with charge 7 14 600 m 47
