| The ''12.7x40mm'' '''M228 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Penetration''' (abbreviated '''M228 SAP-HP''') is a type of .50-caliber round used in the [[M6]] series [[pistols|sidearms]].
| |
| | |
| It is somewhat rare and more of an exotic round due to its rarity of use compared to the [[M225 SAP-HE]]. <ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol</ref>

| | |
| Due to the semi-armor-piercing nature of the round it is likely coated in a hard metal such as steel but deforms shortly after impact to prevent the bullet exiting the body and causing accidental casualties. The filler is likely a hard or heavy metal, such as tungsten, which would provide the extra force and penetration this round boasts of.
