That thing looks like it can cause some serious damage, even to things that are relatively well hardened.

Like, what would happen if a sniper fired that gun into the barrel of a T-80 that had an HE shell loaded?

Don't have to hit the barrels they usually aim for weak spots hoping for penetration then the round bounces around inside taking everyone out.

Technically, it would be sufficient of they lodge a bullet into the barrel. As soon as the tank fires, the bullet will wedge between the shell and the barrel, destroying - at least - the barrel.

That thing might be able to kill someone just by the bullet passing by them.

Kaboom, I believe.
