30mm RARDEN Round

30mm RARDEN Round....    this is what the SABRE fires from its RARDEN Cannon.

The L21A1 RARDEN is a British 30mm autocannon used as a combat vehicle weapon.  The name is a contraction of the Royal Armament, Research and Development Establishment and Enfield. The Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment (RARDE) and the Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF), Enfield, at the time, were both part of the Ministry of Defence.
