| '''Shredder rounds''' are special rounds designed to splinter on impact, tearing through light armor and making mincemeat of flesh. They are usually fired from [[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]] [[Shields#Covenant_Shielding|personal shields]].

| This type of ammunition was often used by the [[Spartan-II|Spartan-II's]] when they ran out of AP ammunition. For example, in the [[Lambda Serpentis System]] in [[2535]], the [[Spartans]] of [[Blue Team]] switched to using shredder rounds after exhausting all of their AP rounds when gunning down a horde of [[Grunts]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] page 3</ref> Another example, also in Fall of Reach, is when Blue Team is at [[Cote d'Azur]]. The Spartans were in a firefight with two [[hunters]] in a museum and when they found out that the AP rounds were not affective against the Hunter's armor, [[Spartan 117]] ordered the team to switch to shredder rounds and shoot the floor beneath the Hunters. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] Page 208</ref>
