As with all internet opinions (including a few of yours), I try to respectfully, present my opinion of disagreement along with valid citation of facts if possible and then move on. Is there any reason to belabor the point if you cannot find anything to corroborate their claim?

Exactly. I love discussions with guys like you who can present knowledgeable, well supported opinions. We can all learn from one another, and have some fun doing so, even if we poke at each other every now and then. It's all in good fun.
This discussion, however, isn't that. I'm not participating, I'm just a spectator. I know better than to get involved when folks like that get going. It just piqued my interest - I had never heard of such a thing. Like I said, I though it was maybe some gaming thing or something. I guess it's not even that, since none of you have hard about this either.

They actually do better than that. The sabot round from the 120mm smoothbore cannon on the Abrams and Leopard exceeds 7,000 fps. Purely a kinetic energy projectile, it has no explosives or anything, no "warhead". Pretty amazing stuff.
