ABSTRACT:
A dual purpose armor piercing and antipersonnel round for battlefield use s a penetrator core surrounded by multiple wedge-shaped blades which disperse radially outward upon impact of the round against a target. The penetrator maintains a uniform path of travel to punch through armor, while the multiple blades tumble at high speed laterally to defeat massed troops around the area of impact.
