Armor-Piercing
Description[edit]
Armor-Piercing ammunition is used solely in standard and light autocannons. It was first prototyped by the Federated Suns in 3053, with full production beginning in 3059. AP ammo uses advanced ballistics materials and improved anti-armor warheads, allowing them to punch through otherwise fresh armor and damage internal systems. However, their increased weight negatively affects the weapon's accuracy and allows for less ammunition to be stored.[1]
