K-E Munitions or Kinetic Energy Weapons are designed to impact a target at high velocity
Velocity

In physics, velocity is defined as the Derivative of Position vector. It is a vector physical quantity; both speed and direction are required to define it....
. Unlike bullets, which are often pointed, KE projectiles trend towards solid heavy rods. On impact, the momentum
Momentum

In classical mechanics, momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object . For more accurate measures of momentum, see the section Momentum#Modern definitions of momentum on this page....

Projectile

A projectile is any object propelled through space by the exertion of a force, which ceases after launch. In a general sense, even a Football or baseball may be considered a projectile....
 is transferred to a small target area, often penetrating building materials and vehicle armor.

K-E Munitions are often used against heavily armored targets, because they are more effective than conventional weaponry in penetrating advanced materials.
