The 6.5x25mm CBJ cartridge offers significant armor-piercing capabilities, even outperforming standard rifle rounds against hardened steel. It achieves this by utilizing a small, high-velocity tungsten penetrator within a sabot, scaled down from tank ammunition technology. The cartridge is designed for easy conversion of existing 9x19mm platforms like the Glock and MP5 with just a barrel change, maintaining compatibility with standard magazines and bolts.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of the 6.5mm CBJ APDS round fired from a modified Glock pistol against a 7mm hardened armor plate from a Russian MT-LB APC. Standard 9mm, 5.56mm, and 7.62mm NATO rounds failed to penetrate, only causing minor damage or dimples. The 6.5mm CBJ APDS round, however, successfully penetrated the armor cleanly, demonstrating its significantly higher performance.

This video focuses on the Vulcan 20mm APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot) ammunition, specifically highlighting both the "white" and "red" enhanced variants. The "red" variant is noted to feature a tungsten penetrator, indicating a focus on its armor-piercing capabilities. The title and description strongly suggest a detailed examination or demonstration of this high-caliber military ordnance, likely emphasizing its power and design for defeating hardened targets.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of a German 25x137mm APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot) round, specifically the DM54 variant used with the M242 Bushmaster cannon.
