The AIE-486 fires 7.62x51mm [[wikipedia:Saboted light armor penetrator|Saboted Light Armor Penetrator]] rounds at a high rate of fire{{citation needed}}. The SLAP design incorporates a polymer sabot, which allows for the use of a tungsten penetrator projectile of a lesser diameter than the original bore. By using the casing of a large cartridge with a lightweight projectile, the velocity of the projectile is greatly increased. The bullets are powerful enough to punch through the armor of a Ghost or a [[Wraith]] and destroy it with ease.
