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