Shredder rounds are designed to splinter on impact, tearing through light armor and "shredding" targets into ribbons. They are usually fired from [[MA5|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 Empire|Covenant]] [[Shields#Covenant_Shielding|personal shields]]. They are most often used against massed enemies with light armour such as grunts.

The [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] can also be equipped with a round that acts similar to a shredder round. The {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} was the only known UNSC ship to be armed with this type of ammunition of MAC weaponry.{{fact}}
