The contents of this page were introduced in Born of Blood. |
| Description: | A shaped refinement to the standard ballistic slug designed to penetrate enemy ship armor deeper with less chance of ricochet. AP rounds can be applied to all 3 sizes of driver guns but does require a new barrel for greater accuracy and range and so AP rounds cannot be fired from standard driver guns. AP rounds do slightly less damage and carry less kinetic impact than standard rounds of the same calibre but are more accurate, longer ranged and suffer from deflection less often. |
