A kinetic energy penetrator or KE weapon is a type of ammunition which does not contain explosives but instead uses kinetic energy to penetrate the target, just like a regular bullet would do. The term is typically used to describe the armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) round used by Main Battle Tanks.
