The Shredder Round is a special type of United Nations Space Command projectile rifle ammunition.

Dynamics

Shredder rounds are designed to splinter on impact, tearing through light armor and making mincemeat of flesh. They are usually fired from Assault Rifles as a replacement for Armor Piercing Rounds. However, shredder rounds have a severe lack of penetration power and they are all but useless against Covenant personal shields.

Appearances

This type of ammunition was often used by the Spartan-II's when they ran out of AP ammunition.

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.[1] 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 effective against the Hunter's armor, Spartan-117 ordered the team to switch to shredder rounds and shoot the floor beneath the Hunters. [2]

MAC Shredder Round

Apparently there was a new Magnetic Accelerator Cannon gun under the concurrent development that fired a smaller round that acted similar to a shredder round. The Pillar of Autumn was the only known UNSC ship to be armed with this type of MAC gun.
