Abstract
A kinetic energy long rod penetrator is formed from a high density metal ing axially aligned elongated cavities uniformly spaced and extending longitudinally through the penetrator. These cavities allow for a long rod penetrator which is longer than previous long rod penetrators of comparable mass and material as well as a penetrator that is resistant to breakage.
