− == Description ==+ '''Armor-Piercing''' ammunition is used solely in [[Autocannon|standard]] and [[Light Autocannon|light autocannons]]. The improved materials and warheads enable the munitions to damage vulnerable components without breaching an enemy's armor. This comes at the price of being more bulky and less accurate.
− '''Armor-Piercing''' ammunition is used solely in [[Autocannon|standard]] and [[Light Autocannon|light autocannons]]. It was first prototyped by the [[Federated Suns]] in [[3053]], with full production beginning in [[3059]]. AP ammo uses advanced ballistics materials and improved anti-armor warheads, allowing them to punch through otherwise fresh [[Armor (BattleMechs & Combat Vehicles)|armor]] and damage internal systems. However, their increased weight negatively affects the weapon's accuracy and allows for less ammunition to be stored.<ref name="TMp208">''TechManual'', p. 208, "Autocannon Munitions - Armor-Piercing Ammunition"</ref>
− == References ==+ AP ammunition was first fielded by the [[Federated Suns]] in [[3059]], though it had been prototyped in [[3053]]. Intended to make the Suns' vast supply of standard autocannons more effective, the munitions were overproduced and flooded the marketplace of the [[Inner Sphere]].{{citation needed}}

+ In game terms, AP ammo suffers a +1 to hit modifier and an ammo bin carrying AP ammunition can only carry half as many rounds (round down). The advantage is that it gains a critical hit chance anytime it strikes an enemy unit, even without damaging the internal structure, though it suffers a negative modifier to the roll that becomes more detrimental and the size of the [[autocannon]] gets smaller.
