Tungsten alloy overspeed armour-piercing bullet has high density, strong toughness, high speed, good penetration ability, and high hit rate. It depends on the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the bore to obtain a lot of initial kinetic energy, and the tank armor came to a hardness of the battle. Under strong stress, the armor wall slowly hollows and eventually breaks, killing living forces and destroying the tank's internal systems.
Compared with the traditional puncture projectile, it is not filled with explosive, but changed to tungsten alloy cartridge. After breaking through the armor, it relies on high-speed splashes of armor and core fragments to kill the personnel and destroy the equipment in the armor.
