KE munitions or kinetic energy weapons are designed to impact a target at high velocity. Unlike bullets, which are often pointed, KE projectiles trend towards solid heavy rods. On impact, the momentum of the projectile is transferred to a small target area, often penetrating building materials and vehicle armor.

KE munitions are often used against heavily armored targets, because they are more effective than conventional weaponry in penetrating advanced materials.
