WM0134 Tungsten Penetrator (W Alloy Penetrator)
Tungsten penetrators, which normally mean tungsten alloy (W-Ni-Fe & W-Ni-Cu) penetrators, must withstand the shock incurred while punching through armor plating. Penetrators designed for this purpose have a greatly strengthened case with an especially hardened and shaped nose. The main type is kinetic energy penetrator (KEP), also known as long-rod penetrator (LRP).
