The resulting 8 cm PAW 600 ( 8H63 ) gun fired a warhead based on the 8.1 cm mortar hollow charge bomb that could penetrate 140mm of armor plate to a maximum effective range of 750 meters.

The French army in the late 1970s rejected Chobham armour as being overly specialised in its optimisation to defeat hollow charge-weapons; it, therefore, opted to develop their own composite arrangement to defeat both hollow charge and sabot round.
