Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (C8.11)
A refinement of APCR that shares the same rule. The tungsten core again sits inside a light alloy body, but here the sheath falls away once the round leaves the muzzle, so the lighter core flies on faster and hits harder. It’s shown as D# on the counter, and like APCR its availability depends on the scenario’s date.
