I am going to go firearms enthusiast on you and say your round's range is much to short.
The "MK 44Bushmaster II" has an effective range of "3,000 metres (9,800 ft) land appl. 5,100 metres (16,700 ft) naval appl." and it uses the 30x173mm cartage, comes out of the barrel at around 1.08 KM/s and can punch holes into tanks (especially if used in the GAU-8).
I say if your effective range is in the 2 KM range then it would start being believable, unless it is a grenade round.
The projectile looks nice but I think the specs are a bit lack-luster.

Hi, Thanks for your comment which is very informative.
This projectile has a reduced spec because it is not propelled in a "classic" manner, i.e., with the black powder. It is propelled by the piezoelectric effect of the highly doped perovskite ceramic. By its design, it is more a rocket than simple round.
The advantage is it's caseless ammunition: less weight, less heat, less noise, flatter trajectory. The disadvantages: needs a powerful marx generator to trigger, less effective range because of a limited quantity of ceramic embedded.
And of course, it's all of sci-fi
...
By the way, I'm a firearms enthusiast too.
To me, I think we have reached the limit of "gunpowder technology". When waiting for the arrival of the laser gun or the proton cannon, a new way to propel a projectile must be find.

Technically speaking gunpowder technology will still be used for a hundred years at a minimum for a variety of reasons.
1 - the batteries (or even more impressive micro generator) for directed energy weapons and/or magnetically accelerated weapons has not been developed (proposed designs include nano-batteries) sufficiently.
2 - nitrocellulos based propellent could be enhanced for greater energy density and better energy transfer, resulting in in increased projectile velocity with decreased propellent.
3 - Caseless designs have been made but are not mainstream yet.
nitrocellulos based propellents are currently at a standstill but I think that with advancements in technology and thinking a revolution for the propellent should be coming.
