| − | The available ammunition allows for engaging all types of targets:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''BR-350A (MD-5 fuze)''': APHEBC; a shell with high explosive mass that will knock out any tank it penetrates with a single shot but has an average penetration power.
| |
| − | *'''BR-354P''': APCR; a composite round with the best penetration but no explosive filler and will only penetrate flat vertical surfaces.
| |
| − | *'''BR-350SP''': APBC; a solid shot with an even better penetration but no explosive filler.
| |
| − | *'''BR-350B (MD-8 fuze)''': APHEBC; same shell as the BR-350A but with increased penetration at the cost of slightly less explosive filler.
| |
| − | *'''OF-350M''': HE; useful for destroying open and lightly armoured vehicles.
| |
| − | *'''Sh-354T''': Shrapnel; useful against vehicles that are resistant to the HE shells but too thinly armoured to trigger the fuzes of AP shells.
| |
| − | *'''D-350A''': Smoke; useful to blind enemy vehicles that are too remote for you to disable so that you can progress towards objectives.

| − | The ZiS-5 has somewhat inadequate penetration for its rank, and thus will often struggle when facing well-armoured enemies frontally. Therefore, despite being fitted exclusively to heavy tanks, the ZiS-5 works best when flanking, as its high explosive mass often guarantees a one-hit knock-out when shooting center mass from the side.
