Kinetic Piercer Missile
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Kinetic Piercer Missiles were heat-seeking missiles used by the Imperialis Armada during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. They were designed to intercept and destroy enemy aircrafts by usage of a second-stage solid projectile warhead, which fired a bolt of molecular compressed metal into its target at supersonic speed.[1]
