Armor Piercing
The default ammunition when ordnance fires at an armored target: solid shot meant to punch through armor rather than burst. Hits are resolved on the AP To Kill Table. Against infantry it’s mostly wasted, since a shot that passes clean through does far less than a bursting HE round would. An overscored Caliber Size means the weapon can’t fire it at all.
