''Estimated muzzle kinetic energy, firing the APFSDS DM 53 (LKE II) round, is around 18-20 megajoules (MJ). The 120 mm L55 weapon is compatible with the current MBT-types in service throughout NATO, as they can easily be retrofitted.'' FROM: link Not exactly what you asked, but hey, I'm trying (very?).

Hey Folks, The M1 tanks original British L7 gun was 7.9MJ it was replaced by the 120mm RHEINMETTTEL which came in at 9-10MJ but that was in the early 80's Sincerely, Keith
