That might have something to do with this being a chart for powered missiles.

The diagram is about normal unpowered shells. They use different amounts of propellant to achieve different projectile speeds

Y'know, I think you're right. That gray bit looks like the tank barrel. I mistook that as part of the projectile path, and I misinterpreted the overall design as a missile battery.

I’m over here with some popcorn as nerds debate the project motion of a hypersonic missile named “arrow” and shit.
