The fins woulds blow a fist-sized hole in your chest.

You die. Depending on the shell the perpetrator is roughly 20-25mm and that is not including the width of the fins.

It creates a vacuum within the Crew Compartment it hits. Air Pressure Difference sucks the air right out from ya. so td;lr you die.

Somewhat related: What is the actual mechanism by which a KEP destroys an armored target? From my understanding, by virtue of their design, a penetrating round won't shatter into fragments like a traditional AP shot, but they're also inert.

Is it true that a large enough round going at a fast enough speed can kill you just by the transfer of energy or like a difference in pressure or something?

Even if the round didn't hit anything important, the transfer of kinetic energy would kill you?

That's a thick trunk.

It wouldn't explode. You would though. Assuming it hits center of mass, your chest would be atomized and your limbs would be thrown a substantial distance away.

I was kinda expecting they'd show the guy flying off as he says it.

Sort of, read up on temporary wound cavity. The problem is it fucking destroys your liver and such.

>>33514565
The fins on the sabot would act like the blades on a hunting arrow. The kinect energy from the round hitting you would probably kill you before you bled out though.

So would hydrostatic shock be a major wounding mechanism when hit by a mach 5 dart?

>>33515266
A tree trunk made of hollow, rusted metal?

Pink mist.

Do you have any concept of hydrostatic shock?

Perhaps. The speed of sound in human tissue is 1540 m/s, which is 4.5 times as fast as in air, so at mach 5 you'd just barely be fast enough for "hydrostatic shock" to be a real thing.

>>33517745
Why on Earth do you think something needs to be going faster than the speed of sound to produce hydrostatic shock?
