Armor piercing ammunition, as the name suggests, is used to penetrate body armor and light vehicle armor, and even heavy tank armor and reinforced concrete, depending on the size of the weapon. Armor piercing bullets are usually equipped with a sharp point and are filled with a heavy core (hardened steel or tungsten carbide) to improve armor penetration abilities. High-caliber weapons, such as those built onto combat aircraft, may employ rounds containing an even heavier depleted uranium penetrator, which explodes on impact, producing incediary effects and furthering the damage.
