I watched the Tankers testing an anti tank round in the late 70s. They put dead sheep in an old Sherman tank and fired a round through it it made about a 3 inch hole on the way in and 8 inch on the way out. All that was left of the two crewman sheep was a little white fuzz and blood around the exit hole. And only half of the driver sheep was left in the cockpit.
I was Impressed. To this day I don't know what I saw fired but DANG it should have been in use if it wasn't.

Yup, that's the infamous Sabot. Watched the later version "super-sabots" punch through T-62's at about 4-5k's out and keep skipping through the desert. Looked like giant tracers.

It was pretty awesome. I thought it may be Sabot but wasnt sure and dont like to just say things I am not sure of.
Hmm Maybe that's why I am not a Politician.

I dont think a sabot round against composite armor reacts the same as a ballistic tip against hide and bone.
Im not so much interested in ballistics as terminal ballistics
