AMMUNITION SEQUENCE

Repeating Pattern:

• LO-AP/19 ×3 — Beskar-Piercing AP
• LO-KI/22 ×1 — Multipurpose Main Ammunition
• LO-EMP-1 ×1 — Stun / Flash (EMP)

---

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Penetration-Weighted Sequencing:
  The belt deliberately concentrates AP rounds in short runs rather than spacing them evenly, maintaining constant mechanical stress on armor and joints.
• Shield Recovery Interruption:
  EMP-1 rounds are positioned to strike during shield recharge cycles, increasing the likelihood of partial or total shield collapse before the next AP strike.
• Structural Fatigue Exploitation:
  Repeated high-energy impacts are intended to widen micro-fractures and deform armor seams, increasing penetration probability over time.
• High-Recoil Feed Stability:
  Fyrirdögun links resist elongation and feed deformation under extreme recoil loads generated by sustained AP fire.
• Heavy-Target Identification Compatibility:
  Designed to integrate with Lilaste Order fire-control systems that prioritize armored targets and articulated weak points.

STRENGTHS

• Highly Effective Against Armored Infantry and Exosuits:
  Sustained AP concentration accelerates armor fatigue and joint failure, even against beskar-grade protection.
• Consistent Shield Defeat Over Time:
  EMP timing prevents stable shield recovery, increasing long-term penetration success.
• Optimized for Deliberate, Sustained Fire:
  Performance improves the longer contact is maintained, favoring disciplined gunners and controlled engagements.
• Effective Against Light Vehicles and Walker Components:
  Particularly lethal to mounts, joints, weapon housings, and exposed power systems.
• Reliable Feed Performance Under Extreme Stress:
  Designed for rotary cannons and heavy mounts that generate high vibration and recoil.

---

WEAKNESSES

• Inefficient Against Soft Targets:
  AP-dominant sequencing results in wasted penetration when used against unarmored infantry.
• Limited Suppression and Area Control:
  Lacks fragmentation and wide-effect munitions, reducing crowd-control effectiveness.
• High Manufacturing and Logistical Cost:
  AP-heavy belts place greater strain on production capacity and supply chains.
• Reduced Effectiveness in Short Engagements:
  Requires sustained fire to fully realize armor-degrading benefits.
• Not Suitable for Rapid Assault Roles:
  Best employed from stable firing positions rather than mobile or CQB operations.

DESCRIPTION
The LO-ABP/02 "Armor Stress" Belt is designed to defeat enemies that rely on protection rather than maneuver. Rather than seeking immediate catastrophic penetration, the belt applies relentless mechanical pressure through repeated beskar-piercing strikes, gradually deforming armor, widening fractures, and compromising articulated systems. Timed EMP-1 rounds disrupt shield recovery and targeting systems, ensuring that each successive AP impact is more likely to strike an exposed or weakened surface.

This belt is most commonly issued to rotary cannons, vehicle-mounted weapons, and emplaced defenses tasked with holding ground against armored opposition. It is not intended for suppression or rapid breakthroughs; its strength lies in inevitability. Given time and sustained fire, the Armor Stress Belt turns even the most heavily protected enemy into a liability.
