A HE ammunition is an explosive compound that is added or mixed in with the standard type of gunpowder. After the bullet has been fired from the weapon and has hit a target, the compounds inside the round will ignite, thereby offering a potentially larger entry wound, a deeper impact wound, and a dangerous exit wound. The rounds are therefore useful for placing exact shots at the more vulnerable parts of the body, namely the head and torso. | |||
HE ammunition | HE ammunition are effective in both anti-matériel and anti-armor purposes, capable of cutting through both flesh and alloy with ease. It is most often used in anti-vehicle weapons, where its explosive capabilities renders it particularly effective against alloy steel. HE ammunitions are also available as small arms, such as the [[M225 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Explosive]] which is used in the [[M6 series]] of sidearms.<ref name="bnet">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol '''Bungie.net''': ''M6G Personal Defense Weapon System'']</ref> | ||
