Fauntleroy and Smith are carrying dummy rounds designed to simulate the size, shape and weight of real munitions. Fauntleroy is carrying a simulated 120mm Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer-point round, or APFSDS-T round; and Smith is carrying a simulated 120mm high explosive anti tank round, or HEAT round.
