	Armor-piercing shot and shell - Definition, explanation
		On the introduction of ironclad warships in the late 19th century it was found that the ordinary cast-iron projectile readily pierced the thin plating, and in order to protect the vital parts of the vessel wrought iron armour of considerable thickness was placed on the sides.
		At first these forged steel shot were made of ordinary carbon steel, but as armour improved in quality the projectiles followed suit, and, for the attack of the latest type of cemented steel armour, the projectile is formed of steel -- either forged or cast -- containing both nickel and chromium.
		Armour-piercing shells of this period had a bursting charge of about 3% of the weight of the complete projectile, and were often fitted with a soft steel cap for the perforation of hard steel armour.

	The Russian Battlefield - Artillery
		In artillery the "shot" term has two meanings: first, this is a known physical phenomenon of discharging a shot, second, a solid projectile designed to be discharged from a firearm or a gun.
		Armor piercing ammunition is used for the purpose of defeating the armor of AFVs (Armored Fighting Vehicles).
		Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) was developed to be the most effective method of firing a high-velocity heavy-cored round from a tank gun and was developed by the British at the end of the World War Two.

	Lone Sentry: 50-mm Antitank Gun, German Pak (WWII U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, February 1943)
		Armor-piercing projectiles fired in this gun weigh 4 pounds 9 ounces, and have been known to pierce the armor of British infantry and cruiser tanks as well as that of U.S. light and medium tanks.
		This gun usually is mounted on a split-trail carriage with a shield of spaced armor plate.
		The range drum is so calibrated that when the maximum range for armor-piercing shell (1,540 yards) is reached, the gun automatically is sighted for high explosive, beginning with 330 yards and going up to a maximum of 2,640 yards.

	Ammunition Summary
		Modern artillery shells are either thin-walled to hold a maximum bursting charge or thick-walled to scatter lethal fragments upon exploding.
		Smaller sizes of shells are laid on their sides in layers, each layer pointing in the opposite direction to the one below to prevent injury to the driving bands.
		Naval gun ammunition of WWII vintage came in two main varieties, armour piercing shells to attack hardened warships or high explosive incendiary shells (with point detonating fuzes to start fires on ships, or mechanical time fuzes designed to fragment and create clouds of shrapnel to defeat aircraft).

	Rogues Cove Nautical Knowledge
		Iron shot for the smoothbore was a solid, round shot, cast in fairly accurate molds; the mold marks that invariably show on all cannonballs were of small importance, for the ball did not fit the bore tightly.
		Spherical case shot was an attempt to carry the effectiveness of grape and canister beyond its previous range, by means of a bursting shell.
		The principle of these types of shot was that they could be fired at the masts and rigging of ships and their whirling action would mangle and ruin a ship's sails and rigging, or to destroy her masts and yards.

	Armor-piercing shot and shell
		In naval warfare and older anti-tank shells, the shell had to withstand the shock of punching through armour plate.
		At first these forged steel shot were made of ordinary carbon steel, but as armour improved in quality the projectiles followed suit, and, for the attack of the latest type of cemented steel armour, the projectile is formed of steel -- either forged or cast -- containing both nickel and chromium.

	Medium shot: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		In film, a medium shot is a camera shot from a medium distance.
		The dividing line between "long shot" and "medium shot" is blurry, as is the line between "medium shot" and "close shot".
		In some standard texts and professional references, a full-length view of a human subject is called a medium shot; in this terminology, a shot of the person from the knees up or the waist up is a close shot.

	Armor-piercing shot and shell
		To prevent the premature explosion of the shell, by the friction of the grains of powder on discharge, it is heated and coated internally with a thick lacquer, which on cooling presents a smooth surface.
		The French high-explosive shell obus torpille or obus a melinite was adopted in 1886.
		The body of the shell was still made of cast iron with a cavity at the base for the bursting charge; on this was placed a thick steel diaphragm with a hollow brass tube which communicated the flash from the nose fuze to the bursting charge.

		The shot is usually fired from a smoothbore barrel; another configuration being the rifled "slug" barrel, which is used to fire a single projectile.
		Shot is termed either birdshot or buckshot depending on the shot size.
		Shot spreaders or diffusion chokes work opposite of normal chokes--they are designed to spread the shot more than a cylinder bore, generating wider patterns for very short range use.

		Shot and shell used prior to, and during World War I were generally cast from special chromium steel, that was melted in pots.
		The only British APHE projectile was the Shell AP, Mk1 for the 2 pdr anti-tank gun and this was dropped as it was found the fuze tended to separate from the body during penetration.
		Although rarely encountered in large calibre tank guns now, armour-piercing shot and shell are used in the various medium calibre weapons (20-40 mm), most notably the automatic cannon used by the land, air and sea forces.

	An Introduction to Collecting Artillery Shells
		With separated ammunition, the shell casing is not attached to the projectile at all.
		Normally, the shell casing for separated ammunition is closed with a plug to protect the propellant and assist with pushing the projectile into the chamber of the gun.
		Shell casings are normally described according to the diameter of the mouth in millimeters (mm), the length of the casing in mm, and the design of the rim.

		Moreover, soft (flexible) armors operate differently from hard (or rigid) armors, though this is primarily true at the low end of the scale.
		While soft armor will be deformed by even a minor impact which would not affect hard armor at all, even "rigid" armor will deform near the upper limit of its protective range.
		(That is, armor which is made of multiple sheets with gaps or layers of spacing material between them.) Even this narrowing still leaves a broad subject; as with anything relating to material strength and overcoming it, armor and armor penetration are complex subjects.

		Their armor was constructed of wood and bone (hard armor), leather (soft armor), and combinations of hard and soft materials.
		In the Indian armoring repertoire, gorgets (armor for the throat) occurred in a variety of forms; helmets, both hard and soft, were widespread.
		Lighter armor continued to be designed specifically for the battlefield function of the soldier, and the light armor of the cavalry was modified for archers or cannoneers.

		The shot spacing governs the area the salvo covers on the floor and is equal to the space in inches between each shot.
		The shell type is either high explosive (HE) or armor piercing (AP) of a size of the caliber of the firing gun.
		If any of the marked shots fall into the region between the bridge of the ship model and a point behind the ship a distance equal to the size of the "shadow," those shots hit the target (therefore, when players plot their fire, they typically guess a little long).

		It can be converted from a regular energy blaster to a more focused, armor piercing shot that consumes more energy.
		In primary firing mode, the Striker will attempt to lock-on to an armored target (heavy assault suit, vehicle, or turret) as long as the reticule is kept on target for a short duration.
		The closer the soldier is to the fragmentation grenade when it explodes, the higher the damage quotient (due to the increased chance of being hit by shrapnel).

		The tank's rolled homogeneous steel armor totaled 180mm on the turret front, 150mm on the glacis plate on the front of the hull, and 80mm on the turret and hull sides and rear.
		The thick armor of the Tiger II made it virtually impervious to frontal penetration by American tanks or antitank guns.
		The L/71 designation refers to the caliber length of the gun; the KwK 43 was 71 lengths of its bore diameter, compared to the shorter L/56 KwK 36 88mm gun mounted in the Tiger I. The KwK 43 was the longest gun mounted in any German tank.

	PzKpfw VI TIGER I
		The T/d relationship regarding armor penetration demonstrates that the more the thickness of the armor plate overmatches the diameter of any incoming armor piercing round, the harder it is for the projectile to achieve a penetration.
		This explains why the side armor of the Tiger I, being 80 mm thick, was so difficult to be penetrated at combat ranges by most Allied anti-tank and tank guns, whose calibers were overmatched by the thickness of the Tiger I armor.
		The quality of the armor was another major asset of the Tiger I, and it can't be emphasized enough that the Tiger I was a very special kind of Panzer, since it had the best quality of everything, compared to any other German tank.
