You do know that sabots are not affected by reactive armour right? That is HEAT and other shaped charges.

Impressed...
So we haven't heard about this because? It would be dangerous? And why isn't there work on how to defeat this?

Nothing is ever a certainty, in any way.

Reactive armour is good for the first shot... but it doesn't have the equivalent of extra armour on the second shot to the same spot... I wonder if a high density shotgun like shell could set off a large zone of the reactive armour then followed by a sabot.

Imagine a Vaco where they had laid an AT-minefield... Ouch!

Do you mean Waco?

Yeah... Oops, a mistype really. But still, think about it. Old AT-mines are available for a fair price, andthose guys certainly had weapons, and some interesting ones too. I wouldn't be too surprised if they could have gotten hold of those mines.

Yes, that would have made for quite an interesting scenario. If I ever become an eccentric person, I'll try to get hold of some of those. You can never be too sure with our FBI.

Too bad they weren't able to deploy something like that.

As to rifles, I'd be interested in trying out the new blended metal bullets they're experimenting with.
