K-E Munitions or
Kinetic Energy Weapons are designed to impact a target at high
velocity. Unlike
bullets, which are often pointed, KE projectiles trend towards solid heavy rods. On impact, the
momentum of the
projectile is transferred to a small target area, often penetrating building materials and
vehicle armor.
K-E Munitions are often used against heavily armored targets, because they are more effective than conventional weaponry in penetrating advanced materials.
