Tungsten alloy can be applied as the material of large-caliber kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile cores, machine gun armor-piercing discarding sabot cores, rod-type kinetic energy armor-piercing projectile cores, tactical missile fragmentation, and warheads for bullets and cannonballs. And it can be used as the shaped charge liner of shaped charge. Wherein, the ability of the shaped charge to penetrate the armor is proportional to the square of the density of the shaped charge liner material. Also, tungsten alloy can be used as the projectiles for cluster bomb. Besides, tungsten alloy is often applied as the gyroscope or counterweight for torpedoes, ships, tanks and other weapons.
