PELE – Penetrator with Enhanced Lateral Effect 

Rheinmetall developed the PELE (penetrator with enhanced lateral effect) round in order to increase the effectiveness of conventional medium-calibre ammunition. Crucial to its success is the specially engineered projectile, which combines two materials with different levels of density. Containing neither a fuse nor explosives, the round’s lethality derives from its high penetrating power coupled with fragmentation, blast and incendiary effects. PELE is available in full- and sub-calibre versions.

All this makes PELE a truly multipurpose ammunition: when the shooting starts, it is the perfect answer for army, air force and naval operations, enabling successful engagement of dismounted personnel and lightly armoured vehicles. It also lends itself to combat missions in built-up areas. Moreover, PELE is suitable for use on firing ranges, as there is no risk of unexploded rounds. Other major advantages: PELE ammunition is cost-efficient as well as safe to handle and store.
