It is effective against both vehicles and infantry, regardless of shielding. It's armor-piercing nature is the reason for it's effectiveness against vehicles; [[Armor Piercing Rounds]] are designed to shoot through armor to damage the occupants of the vehicle.

However, it is still effective due to its large size and high kinetic energy. Only the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM]] uses a larger round. | It is effective against both vehicles and infantry, regardless of shielding.
