Shredder round: Difference between revisions

'''Shredder rounds''' are special rounds designed to splinter on impact, tearing through light armor and rending flesh. They are usually fired from [[Assault Rifles]] as a replacement for [[Armour Piercing Rounds]]. However, shredder rounds have a severe lack of penetration power and they are all but useless against [[Covenant]] [[Shields#Covenant_Shielding|personal shields]].

This type of ammunition was often used by the [[Spartan-II|Spartan-II's]] when they ran out of AP ammunition, for example, in the [[Lambda Serpentis System]] in [[2535]], the Spartans of [[Blue Team]] switched to using shredder rounds after exhausting all of their AP rounds when gunning down a horde of [[Grunts]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] page 3</ref> Another example, also in Fall of Reach, is when Blue team is at [[Cote d'Azur]]. The Spartans were in a firefight with two hunters in a museum and when they found out that the AP rounds were not affective against the Hunter's armour, [[Spartan 117]] ordered the team to switch to shredder rounds and shoot the floor beneath the Hunters. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] Page 208</ref>
