According to the article it leaves dents. So instead of a focused blast puncturing a hole, it gets splayed out all over the place.
Also, just out of curiousity, what are the health effects of finely dispersed Cu oxide ? Does anyone make liners out of DU? Yummy.
Steven denBeste (the captain of U.S.S. Clueless) discussed anti-tank weapons and anti-anti-tank defenses at http://denbeste.nu/cd_log_entries/2002/08/MoreontheT-72.shtml . The HEAT discussion applies to RPGs. It doesn't answer all of Major Variola's questions, but gives a conceptual overview without the math. Note: Although denBeste generally writes good essays on the technical subjects he covers, he's been known to make omissions and errors. As with everything on the net, read with a grain of salt. -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel Vote Idiotarian --- it's easier than thinking
