The projectile is a 15.2 mm APFSDS round which is highly unusual in small arms. This type of round is almost exclusively used in tank or anti-tank rounds. The round was designed specifically for the IWS 2000. It contains either a tungsten carbide or depleted uranium armor piercing penetrator that is capable of penetrating over 40 mm of rolled homogeneous armor at a range of 1000 m, as well as causing considerable damage behind the target with secondary fragmentation. The cartridge is a unique design including a plastic case with a steel head as well as a plastic sabot shell around the penetrator.--from wikipedia
