2. Armor-piercing bullet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armor-piercing_bullet

   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 ...

3. Tungsten - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

   Tungsten occurs in many alloys, which have numerous applications, including incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes, electrodes in gas tungsten arc welding, superalloys, and radiation shielding. Tungsten's hardness and high density make it suitable for military applications in penetrating projectiles.

4. Bullet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet

   Bullets are often tapered, making them more aerodynamic. Bullet size is expressed by weight and diameter (referred to as "caliber") in both imperial and metric measurement systems. [1] Bullets do not normally contain explosives [2] but strike or damage the intended target by transferring kinetic energy upon impact and penetration.

   Projectile weight (including sabot): 5.9 kg; Projectile weight: 3.9 kg including 2.9 kg and 0.27 kg tungsten carbide plug; Muzzle velocity: 1785 m/s; Muzzle energy: 6.2 MJ; Penetration: 400 mm at 0° at 2000 m, 150 mm at 60° at 2000 m

6. Armour-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_ammunition

   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.

7. 6.5mm Grendel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5mm_Grendel

   Depending on their case material and bullet weight, 6.5mm Grendel cartridges weigh 14.7 to 17.8 grams (227 to 275 gr). The case head diameter of the Grendel is the same as that of the 5.6×39mm (.220 Russian), 7.62×39mm and 6.5mm PPC cases. This diameter is larger than the 5.56×45mm NATO, thereby necessitating the use of a non-standard AR-15 bolt
