The CT40 employs telescoped ammunition, where the projectile is encased within the propellant powder, significantly reducing its size.
This compact ammunition is easier for the crew to handle and allows for a larger payload, while being four times more powerful than the 30mm rounds used on the Warrior vehicle. 
The cannon's unique 40mm telescoped ammunition is unlike traditional rounds, where the projectile sits on top of the cartridge case.
The projectile in the CT40 sits inside it, encased in the propellant powder.

This gun is very unique and uses a rotating breech that keeps the size inside the turret small. This looks like a great system.
