 The 25mm shell is composed of a super-dense core, usually composed of a depleted uranium alloy, is encased inside a ferrous-composite shell. While perhaps not as outright tough as more advanced alloys a depleted uranium penetrator has the advantage of being pyrophoric and self-sharpening on impact. When a successful penetration is made, the inside of the enemy unit will be riddled with flaming shards of metal designed to ignite fuel and ammo with the promise of turning the enemy unit into a smoking husk. The 25mm shell is composed of a super-dense core, usually composed of a depleted uranium alloy, is encased inside a ferrous-composite shell.

 These rounds are designed for use against soft targets, such as VIPs (who may be carrying defense against small-arms), computer equipment, igniting fuel and ammo reserves, and so on. These anti-materiel rounds are of a much lower muzzle velocity than their cousins since they are designed with more clandestine activities in mind. By using a fin-stabilized rounds with far less weapon propellant the sound, heat, and flash signature of the weapon can be decreased exponentially. Unfortunately, these rounds move much slower and with greater arc than the standard ones, so require careful pre-sighting or computer-assisted calculation to fire accurately.  These rounds are designed for use against soft targets, such as VIPs (who may be carrying defense against small-arms), computer equipment, igniting fuel and ammo reserves, and so on.
