I was reading the other day and a reference was made to an API bullet. Anyone know what that is?

How were they used, and in what?

They're designed to punch through hardened targets (up to Main Battle Tanks) and start fires on the battlefield.  Your larger caliber military firearms usually have an API load. 50 BMG, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm.
