Abstract
An anti-material projectile which fragments wholly or in part due to impact shock on hitting a target thereafter penetrating the target causing damage. The projectile is preferably high density frangibile alloy having a ratio of compressive to tensile strength of 20 to 1. The projectile is useful against soft targets such as aircraft as well as armor targets where initial impact is at the armor plating. The projectile may be a composite of pyrophoric tip (41c) with a projectile body (41a) of frangible alloy and an armor piercing alloy base (41b).
