…Multiple AT4 rounds fired at the same area of a wood-framed wall usually produce a human-sized hole. The SMAW has a devastating effect against wood-framed walls. A single round produces a breach hole…

…This reduces the effect of a round and increases the threat of ricochets. The tendency of rounds to strike glancing blows against hard surfaces means that up to 25 percent of impact-fuzed explosive rounds may…

…Because sandbags absorb much of the energy from a shaped charge, the rounds should be aimed at the center of the firing aperture. Even if the round misses the aperture, the bunker wall area near it…

…Close ranges affect penetration of the 7.62-mm round less than the 5.56-mm round; the .50-caliber round’s penetration is reduced the least. (a) At 50 meters, the 7.62-mm ball…

…Airburst rounds are more suitable for this adjustment. Adjustments may have to be made by sound. When rounds impact on a perpendicular street, they are adjusted for range. When the range is correct, a lateral shift…

…No precise data exist as to the number of rounds required to produce loopholes or breach holes with the MK19. However, the rounds’ explosive effects are dramatic and should exceed the performance of the .50-caliber…

…HE rounds with concrete-piercing fuzes provide an excellent means of penetrating strong reinforced concrete structures. One round can penetrate up to 46 inches. Five rounds are needed to reliably create a 1.5-meter breach…

…With the armor-piercing, discarding, sabot with tracer (APDS-T) round, an angle of obliquity of up to 20 degrees can actually improve breaching. The rounds tend to dislodge more wall material for each shot but…

furniture, home appliances, and bedding can be easily penetrated by both 7.62-mm and .50-caliber rounds (Tables B-5 and B-6). (a) The M240G machine gun can be hard to hold steady enough…

…Although most structural materials repel single 5.56-mm rounds, continued and concentrated firing can breach some typical urban structures (See Table B-2). Type Penetration Rounds Required 8-inch reinforced concrete Initial Loophole 35 250…

…The MK19 can use its high rate of fire to concentrate rounds against light structures. This concentrated fire can create extensive damage. The 40-mm HEDP round can penetrate the armor on the flank, rear, and…

…The penetration that can be achieved with a 5.56-mm round depends on the range to the target and the type of material being fired against. Single 5.56-mm rounds are not effective against…

…The discarding portions of the round can be lethal to exposed infantry forward of the tank. d. Target Effects. HEAT rounds are most effective against masonry walls. The APFSDS round can penetrate deeply into a structure…

…Small explosive rounds are effective, however, in suppressing snipers on rooftops and preventing roofs from being used by enemy observers. The 60-mm WP round is not normally a good screening round because of its small…

(b) The penetration of the 7.62-mm round is best at 600 meters, but most urban targets are closer. The longest engagement range is usually 200 meters or less. Table B-3 lists the penetration…
