The HE part of the HEAT round will do more than firing sabot at them will...

I’m trying to remember the different 105 rounds we had for the M-60s.

HEP was, if I remember right, what we were supposed to use against bunkers and Infantry at a distance.

Really hard to hit with a HEP round. It used to curl up and right I think.

They taught us to use the telescope instead of the main sight.

I did run into a guy who shot down a moving helicopter with a HEP round.

I shook his hand. That would be a tough shot.

And we did have the beehive round.
