Armor-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) is a type of spin-stabilized kinetic energy projectile for anti-armor warfare. Each projectile consists of a sub-caliber round fitted with a sabot.

The M829 is an American armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) kinetic energy penetrator tank round. Modeling was done at the Ballistic Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, [1] which was incorporated into the Army Research Laboratory in 1992.

AP rounds smaller than 20 mm are intended for lightly armoured targets such as body armour, bulletproof glass, and lightly armoured vehicles. As tank armour improved during World War II, anti-vehicle rounds began to use a smaller but dense penetrating body within a larger shell, firing at a very-high muzzle velocity.

Armour-piercing ammunition (AP) is a type of projectile designed to penetrate either body armour or vehicle armour. From the 1860s to 1950s, a major application of armour-piercing projectiles was to defeat the thick armour carried on many warships and cause damage to their lightly-armoured interiors.

The 25mm Armor-Piercing, Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with tracer (APFSDS-T) M919 has been designed and developed to replace the currently fielded M791 cartridge as the service armor piercing...

2022年10月4日 · The sabot round is a form of ammunition used by tanks for armored warfare. The non-explosive anti-tank round surrounds a projectile and allows it to accurately reach its intended target, decimating the enemy within. With the sabot round, a tank crew has little-to-no chance of survival – and that’s primarily why it’s favored in battle.

The 25mm x 137 Tungsten Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot-Tracer (APFSDS-T) provides superior defeat capability over the M791 APSDS-T round for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The long rod tungsten penetrator, of this highly effective anti-armor round, has excellent penetration characteristics with minimal dispersion.
