This is a blown-out but not shortened version of the MG-151s 15 x 96mm cartridge, giving its 205 gram API & HET projectiles a velocity of 830 m/s. HE(M) projectiles, not yet developed, would be faster because of their lighter weight, 183 grams at 920 m/s.

Those are the cartridge weights rather than the projectile weights. 117 / 115 / 92g for API/HET/HE(M). There isn't a great increase in power from the historical MG 151/20 but the interchangeable nature and the fairly light weight are lost.

6 kilos is regarded as an acceptable trade for a 15% increase in muzzle velocity.
