If a round is a KE round, it simply means that it uses kinetic energy to kill its target (like a rock, arrow, bullet etc) rather than chemical energy as in an explosive round. Most current anti-tank rounds use kinetic energy to penetrate the target and explosives to fry it.

Essentially a rail-gun?

I know what a KE round is. The force of thr M829A2 is equal to that of a mile long frieght train goin 70 MPH.


Keep in mind when you say railgun that in my mind I see Big Greta or Anzio Anne, bot a MAC gun.
