hey /k/

so If a tank fires a shell at a sheet of glass, will the round pass right through it (1) or will it explode off the glass(2)?

lots of different kinds of glass, bro
but generally speaking the round will behave as if the glass isn't even there

Quoted By:

Tank rounds are typically made to be armor peircing, or explosive. IIRC explosive rounds are fused, not contact detonated. This means they will blow through the glass and blow up inside the building. Armor piercing shouldn't be affected by typical window glass.

looks like you spent more time drawing explosions than thinking about the answer to your question OP

just standard glass, like on a house, or a store in the mall

well I thought explosive rounds were contact detonated, but wasn't sure what sort of force to make the contact

Old WWII HE rounds had timer fuses, don't know about modern shells but I'm sure they do something similar. Shrapnel doesn't do much to tank armor, you need penetration.

if you are talking about simple Explosive rounds, then no.

they only explode when they hit something hard enough. a sheet of glass is not even harder than the air resistance they face at that speed.
