RID 40mm SLAP (Sabot-Launched, Armor Piercing) rounds are designed to complete the circuit between the two rails of the RID. The sabot that deploys the round is what completes the circuit to use lorentz force thereby accelerating the projectile to lethal speeds. The RID SLAP rounds use a titanium-tungsten alloy core to maximize armor-piercing capabilities and have a special computerized outer shell that breaks away upon reaching its target, either by calculating spin and trajectory prior to firing to maximize damage, or simply by proximity, imparting the massive amount of kinetic energy upon impact while the core itself penetrates.
The round, as it is loaded, is suspended briefly by magnetic forces before being induced into the rails.
