The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The warhead functions by having an explosive charge collapse a metal liner inside the warhead into a high-velocity shaped charge jet, this is capable of penetrating armor steel to a depth of seven or more times the diameter of the charge.
- The shaped charge jet armor penetration effect is purely kinetic in nature, the round has no explosive or incendiary effect on the armor.
- Unlike standard armor-piercing rounds, a HEAT warhead's penetration performance is unaffected by the projectile's velocity, allowing them to be fired by lower-powered weapons that generate less recoil.
