Types of Tungsten Alloy Penetrators

1.high-explosive. Is the most common high-explosive shells, or known as grenades, referred to as "HE". Mostly in the steel shell filled with high explosive detonator. After the explosives were detonated detonator, burst into a lot of heat and sharp shell shrapnel scattered at high speed. Depending on the target, high-explosive detonators can be set via a controlled detonation height, such as ground, air or in shells up to a depth of penetration of the target after the detonation, in order to achieve maximum destructive effect.

2.penetrators. Ap is the hardness of the material and the shape of the shells, coupled with the charge transfer at the time of firing the kinetic energy, in contact with the hard surface of the target to achieve the effect of the penetration destruction. In addition to anti-tank projectile can also be used against other hard targets, or use the bomb attack warships protective armor.

3.APDS. APDS is a traditional piercing enhance its destructive effects improved. APDS will really be in contact with the target warhead reduced diameter, outside sleeve made ​​with lighter material coated on the exterior, with ordinary projectile close to the same diameter, can continue to use the existing artillery. The advantage of this is that you can use artillery projectile larger caliber, the use of more energy charge provided, focused on smaller than conventional armor-piercing warhead, improve the overall armor-piercing capability, and reduce the energy consumption during the flight. APDS is the main type currently penetrators.

4.tail steady APDS (APFSDS). Similar APDS projectile, bomb core and more by rare precious metal manufacture, possess high hardness, the biggest difference in the wing of the bomb core stability APDS tail with the tail, its function after the shooting, bomb core flying in the air attitude can shoot parabola with a straight line, after contact with the target kinetic energy penetrator tip through focused goal, that wing bomb core function is to let the air do not tumble. The main drawback is the rear wing increases drag, reducing the kinetic energy, vulnerable to side winds, lower hit rate.
