* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': A few anti-armor weapons and ammo types exist in the game. The most common and well-known is armor-piercing autocannon ammunition. It's generally considered AwesomeButImpractical because it imposes a penalty on attack rolls when fired and only provides half the shots per ton of ammunition as regular autocannon ammo, but if it hits it gets a chance to score a crit even if it doesn't breach the target's armor (unfortunately made at a penalty, which puts the odds of actually causing a crit with it quite low). Where it and other anti-armor weapons like tandem-charge short range missiles and Reengineered Lasers actually succeed is when faced with an opponent that has an armor type that reduces the damage that it takes from attacks- such weapons and ammo ignore the damage reduction, which is vital if you want to actually damage them before they can deal too much damage back.
