What is the armor penetration capability of the 40mm HEDP round?

The 40mm High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (HEDP) round is designed for versatility, capable of penetrating both armor and providing explosive effects against a range of targets. The armor penetration capability of approximately 2 inches reflects its effectiveness in engaging lightly armored vehicles and personnel in protective gear. This specification allows the round to deliver designed performance against typical battlefield threats, as it can penetrate the armor of many vehicles while still offering the explosive lethality against personnel and fortifications. The ability to penetrate 2 inches of armor positions the 40mm HEDP round as a critical munition for infantry units in various combat scenarios, combining the kinetic impact of a projectile with explosive capabilities.
