Dats it

"More than likely, it's an M903 .50 Saboted Light Armor Penetrator (SLAP) round. "
Thats what the acronym meant. Couldn't remember what it was. Don't know if they use it any longer But it was originally thought that it could be used against Armored personnel carriers. They also tried a round made of depleted uranium but the bullet was too heavy....if I don't disremember. Also I don't think it was as accurate as they had hoped...somewhat like the saboted 30-06 round Remington used to make. I have a few of them too.
