Slug - Ag.

This is coolbert:

Slugs not bullets. Silver slugs.

"The U.S. Army Wants Some Tank-Busting Silver Bullets"

"They're not for shooting werewolves. We think"

 The article DAVID HAMBLING "Popular Mechanics". JAN 20, 2016.

"This video shows how an Explosively Formed Penetrators [EFP] forms its projectile. Please keep in mind that this video is about getting a basic idea of how the process works. It's not an actual simulation of the event." Slugs of titanium most appropriate. Titanium however expensive and hard to work. Silver less expensive and easier to work. EFP if properly designed can even produce a molten slug that has fins for greater in-flight stability!

See previous blog entries here and here the possibility of partisan warfare waged in the Ukraine. EFP perhaps the weapon of choice for the guerrilla/irregular fighter?

One EFP has the capability under thecorrect circumstances to destroy a Russian T-90 tank valued at about $3 million USD depending on what model.
