About: Saboted light armor penetrator   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It is fired from the M2 machine gun and modern tanks, and is mainly used in anti-armor roles against APCs and helicopters. It is also compatible with the M2 machine gun on the Bushmaster and can safely be used in unmodified machine guns. The SLAP round is now being developed by Winchester as they recently scored a $43 million contract. Unfortunately, it does not fire accurately through bolt-action sniper rifles and is prohibited from being fired through the M107. It maximizes the engagement range and effectiveness on target.

  • It is fired from the M2 machine gun and modern tanks, and is mainly used in anti-armor roles against APCs and helicopters. It is also compatible with the M2 machine gun on the Bushmaster and can safely be used in unmodified machine guns. The SLAP round is now being developed by Winchester as they recently scored a $43 million contract. Unfortunately, it does not fire accurately through bolt-action sniper rifles and is prohibited from being fired through the M107. The calculation of using a lightweight cartridge plus a lightweight projectile means added velocity. The plastic shoe is discarded once the round is fired and the SLAP round travels at more than 4,000 feet per second to penetrate armor, using its tungsten carbide penetrator. Its tip is also very pointed and sharp adding for better penetration. It maximizes the engagement range and effectiveness on target.
