 Now the weapon they used was what we call a sable round. Now sable round is kind of an interesting weapon. When this slams into a target, whatever the missile's made of, the shell's made of, vaporizes almost instantly. The needle, which looks a little bit like a cone, melts the armor of whatever it hit and then goes inside. I know in the Gulf War I saw tanks that had been hit by sable rounds. On the outside, they don't look too bad.
