The M225 SAP-HE is the standard issue ammunition for the M6 series of sidearms. Performance-wise, the round is effective against infantry, especially against unarmored or unshielded opponents. Compared to the [[7.62x51mm|M118 Full Metal Jacket Armor-Piercing|M118 7.62×51mm]] and the [[M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing|M634 9.5×40mm]] rounds, the M225 is a relatively effective round against [[energy shield]]s due to its [[high explosive ammunition]] properties. It is largely ineffective against vehicles, as it is not significantly armor-piercing.
