The object of this invention is accomplished by utilizing composite metallic materials made up of two but preferably three or more layers of different metals or alloys. The arrangement of the layers are made so that the front face is a hard brittle material (Rockwell C-60) designed to shatter the steel penetrator and the hardness of the layers should decrease from front to back.
