2. Armour-piercing, capped, ballistic capped shell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing,_capped...

   The configuration consists of an armour-piercing shell fitted with a stubby armour-piercing cap (AP cap) for improved penetration properties against surface hardened armour, especially at high impact angles, [1] and an aerodynamic ballistic cap on top of the AP cap to correct for the poorer aerodynamics, especially higher drag, otherwise ...

3. Panzergranate 39 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzergranate_39

   The Pzgr. 39 was an APCBC [1]-HE-T design.It consisted of the shell body that was armour penetrating (AP) using a cap (C) to increase performance against sloped armour, a ballistic cap (BC) to increase aerodynamic performance along with a high explosive (HE) filler and tracer unit (T) that was incorporated into the base fuze.

4. Non-explosive reactive armor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-explosive_reactive_armor

   Non-explosive reactive armour (NxRA), also known as non-energetic reactive armor (NERA), is a type of vehicle armor used by modern main battle tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles. NERA advantages over explosive reactive armor (ERA) are its inexpensiveness, multi-hit capability, [ 1 ] and ease of integration onto armored vehicles due to ...

5. Armour-piercing discarding sabot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_discarding...

   Armour piercing discarding sabot munitions were developed to increase penetrating performance of anti-tank projectiles by generating higher impact velocity.A larger projectile would require a completely new weapon system, but increasing velocity faced the limitation that steel armour-piercing (AP) projectiles shattered at velocities above about 850 m/s when uncapped.

6. British Official Armour Specification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Official_Armour...

   The British Official Armour Specification is a set of standards for armour construction for armoured fighting vehicles, including tanks, during the late Interwar Period and into World War II. Standards list

7. High-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_incendiary/...

   Raufoss Mk 211. High-explosive incendiary/armor-piercing ammunition (HEIAP) is a form of shell which combines armor-piercing capability and a high-explosive effect. In this respect it is a modern version of an armor-piercing shell.
