To introduce the tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet
Tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet is to point to rely on the kinetic energy of the projectile penetrates armor destroys the target of the shells. Its characteristic is high velocity, long hitting the distance and high firing accuracy.It used for mutilate tanks, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, ships, aircraft, armor target and destroy the fortified defenses.
Tungsten alloy armor piercing shell is a type of ammunition designed to penetrate armor and detonate. They are generally used against body armor, vehicle armor, concrete, tanks and other defenses, depending on the caliber of the firearms.
Shells of the tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets designed for this purpose had a greatly strengthened case with a specially hardened and shaped nose and a much smaller bursting charge. Some smaller caliber tungsten alloy armor piercing shells
have an inert filling, or incendiary charge in place of the HE bursting charge.

The theory about the tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets
Tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets are famous for its strong arch and hard drill. It mainly depends on the large kinetic energy and their own high-strength to projectile hit the target. Tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets are made from the high-density alloy steel which is much harder than tank armored, tungsten carbide and other materials. All have a very hard tungsten alloy armor piercing warheads. It is the enemy of tanks, armored vehicles and concrete fortifications. When launching, tungsten alloy armor piercing balls are under the high-temperature, high-pressure gas. Reach the target, it will make a pit in the surface of the armor, red out the armor and the pit bottom at the same time. At this time, although the head has been broken, missile force the powerful impact of inertia, it will continue onrush. When the impact force reaches a certain value, the fuse was lit triggered, it caused the explosion of the projectile charge. At this time, per square centimeter in area can produce dozens of tons to hundreds of tons of pressure, thereby killing the crew inside the tank, destroy weapons.
How does tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets work?
The most widely used tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets in the world are made of a hardened steel, tungsten-carbide, or depleted uranium penetrator enclosed within a softer material, such as copper or aluminum. The depleted uranium rounds, for instance, take advantage of their high-density material, designed to retain its shape and carry the maximum possible amount of energy as deep as possible into the target.
The tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets fired from rifles are strengthened with a copper orcuprous-nickel jacket, much like the jacket that surrounds lead in a conventional projectile, a jacket which is destroyed upon impact to allow the penetrating charge to continue its movement through the targeted substance.
One of the most famous types of tungsten alloy armor piercing bullets used in the past was the Teflon-coated bullets. Contrary to popular belief, the Teflon coating did not in itself help the bullet penetrate deeper, instead it was meant to help reduce the wear on the barrel as a result of firing hardened projectiles. The strange fact is that this misconception even produced laws that lead to the restricted use of these bullets, eventually leading to their extinction.
The famous example of such a blunder was the assassination attempt on US President Ronald Reagan that took place on March 30, 1981. Then, the shooter used an
tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet with a normal revolver, which actually deprived the bullet of its ability, contributing to the bullet missing the heart by less than one inch and piercing his left lung instead, which likely spared his life.
In fact, that most people don't know about, is that it's not enough to have the
tungsten alloy armor piercing bullet, you must also have a modified barrel, in order to take advantage of the bullet's ability.
