Armour-piercing discarding sabot
The Armour-piercing discarding sabot (APDS) is a type of
kinetic energy projectile fired from a gun to attack
armoured targets. APDS rounds were commonly used in large calibre
tank guns, but have now been superseded by
APFSDS projectiles. APDS rounds are commonly used in small or medium calibre weapon systems, although APFSDS projectiles are now the preferred option for heavily armoured targets. For a given calibre, this type of ammunition can effectively double the armour penetration of a gun, compared to those firing
AP,
APC or
APCBC projectiles.
