Explanation:

The M2, .50 caliber machine gun round used against light armored vehicles and aircraft is the saboted light armor penetrator (SLAP). These rounds are designed specifically to penetrate armor more effectively than standard ammunition. The M2 machine gun itself has been a staple of United States military armament since its introduction before World War II, capable of engaging a wide range of targets due to its power and the variety of ammunition types available for it. The SLAP rounds extend the versatility of the M2 by allowing it to engage and defeat light armored targets more efficiently.
