Can someone please explain to me the differences in performance between low and high pressure guns of the same calibre.
I'm presuming that pressure has a direct impact on the velocity of the round being fired and therefore the range and effectiveness (especially against hard targets) but beyond that I draw a blank.
Are LP guns just a poor mans alternative for use on lightweight vehicles or is there a negligible loss of performance in most roles?
And can ammunition compensate for any shortfalls.

This system is compatible with all current NATO 105mm service ammunitions.
