"The AMP adds an important new capability. The existing canister round is only for short-range use with a maximum reach of about 500 meters. This makes it useless for dealing with one of the biggest threats to tanks, infantry equipped with anti-tank guided missiles like the Russian-made AT-14 Kornet, used in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. When used in airburst mode, the AMP can target groups of personnel at ranges of up to 2,000 meters: even if it does not disable a missile team, the round is likely to distract them enough so that they are not able to keep a missile on course." Another important new capability is breaching walls. Currently, making a breach an infantry assault requires engineers to get next to the wall and emplace explosives. Three rounds of AMP will create a thirty-by-fifty-inch hole clean through a double-thickness reinforced concrete wall, big enough for troops to advance through. This includes cutting through the steel reinforcement bars, and breaching can be carried out from several hundred meters away," said Forbes.

I'm surprised that it would take three rounds to make a thirty by fifty hole.

Weapons like these do no good against the main enemy of the republic, democrats.

They named in HEMP...more smokers of the devil's lettuce.
As if grunts needed any more ammo for dick jokes they name a round after a blunt...can you imagine the discussions in the tank? "Sir positive hit" "Negative gunner - Pass target another blunt" |

That fireball from the tank barrel is worse that a 7" 5.56! How would they ever call a hit with that huge flash? Seems like they need a different propellant.

Supposed to (at least partially) replace the M830A1 MPAT round (which replaced the M830 HEAT round), the obstacle reducing M908 round, and the M1028 cannister round.
The main gun is getting upgrades too. More info here |

Problem is Kornet can hit from 4+km away while this can only counter thise 2km away.
