To penetrate a target, KE projectiles rely on velocity and not an explosive charge.... Historical research indicates that KE projectiles are responsible for forty percent of tanks knocked out in battle. Because KE projectiles are normally fired at very high velocity, they have a very flat trajectory(flight path), a decreased time of flight, and increased hit probability. The effectiveness of KE projectiles decreases at longer ranges, since the projectiles slow down during long flights.  4, record 1, English, - kinetic%20energy%20projectile

Any motion, including underhand or sidearm is permissible, however, the overhead or overarm stroke is by far the most common.(The terms "overarm service" and "roundarm service" are rarely heard today.) There are basically three types of service : 1) the flat service; 2) the slice service; 3) the spin service. Note that the term "serve" is ambiguous in English. On the one hand it may refer to the result of going through(e. g. he can hit a very hard "serve") ;finally, it may even refer to one of the two attempts allowed to complete a service(e. g. he is about to make his second "serve"-French : deuxième balle de service). On this last note, at Wimbledon, England, one hears the chair umpire call out "first service", rather than "first serve".  5, record 2, English, - serve
