FRAG-12 is experimental military shotgun grenade ammunition under consideration by military forces. [7] Coming in three variants: High explosive (HE), high explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) and high explosive fragmenting antipersonnel (HEFA) used by the AA-12 Atchisson Assault Shotgun and potentially other shotguns.

Similarly to SLAP rounds (saboted light armor penetrator) which get their armor-piercing ability from the propulsion of a 7.62 mm tungsten heavy alloy bullet from a 12.7 mm barrel (.50 caliber) using a sabot with much more energy than is usually possible from a 7.62 mm round, HEIAP munitions utilize a similar theory with an added explosive ...
The Raufoss Mk 211 is a .50 BMG (12.7×99mm NATO) multi-purpose anti-material high-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition projectile produced by Nammo under the model name NM140 MP. [1] It is commonly referred to as multipurpose or Raufoss, meaning red waterfall in Norwegian.
Armour-piercing ammunition (AP) is a type of projectile designed to penetrate armour protection, most often including naval armour, body armour, and vehicle armour. [1]The first, major application of armour-piercing projectiles was to defeat the thick armour carried on many warships and cause damage to their lightly armoured interiors.
Recently, API (armour-piercing incendiary) shells have been used; these penetrate targets using the kinetic properties of the round before the incendiary round goes off, smothering the crew in flames, cooking off ammunition and igniting combustible materials, generally destroying the target.
The M1 ammo crate held a total of 1,000 belted or linked rounds packed in 4 M1 ammo boxes and the later M1A1 ammo crate held a total of 1,000 belted or 1,100 linked rounds packed in M1A1 ammo boxes. There were two .50 M2 ammo boxes to a crate (for a total of 220 belted or 210 linked rounds) with a volume of 0.93 cubic feet.
12 gauge: This armor would protect against five hits, fired from 5 meters, of: 35 g (540 gr) 12 gauge lead-core "Hunter" shotshells at a velocity of 390–410 m/s (1279–1345 ft/s) Class 3 5.45×39mm 7.62×39mm: This armor would protect against three hits, fired from 5.10 meters, of:
Armor-piercing bullets typically contain a hardened steel, tungsten, or tungsten carbide penetrator encased within a copper or cupronickel jacket, similar to the jacket which would surround lead in a conventional projectile. The penetrator is a pointed mass of high-density material designed to retain its shape and carry the maximum possible ...
