The danger zone extends at an angle of about 10 degrees below the muzzle level, out
to at least 100 meters, and about 17 degrees left and right of the muzzle. Figure B-11
shows the hazard area of the APDS-T round.

(2) HEI-T. The HEI-T round penetrates urban targets by blasting away chunks of
material.
(a) The HEI-T round does not penetrate an urban target as well as the APDS-T, but it
does strip away a greater amount of material for each round. The HEI-T does more
damage to an urban target when fired in multiple short bursts because the cumulative
impact of multiple rounds is greater than the sum of individual rounds. Table B-12 lists
the number of HEI-T rounds needed to create different-sized holes.
