That was the Conundrum back-when: Past about Div. 10, HESH-RRs and -BCs were de rigeur, which would absolutely *shred* Metal armor; so Metal armor was not often seen above Div. 10, which obviated the need to load HESH in RRs and BCs in the first place. (Oddly, Div. 5 was where Metal armor came into its own -- it brought the cost down, and there were few-to-no Metal-shredder guns available; my _INS_-series Subcompacts flat annihilated the competition in NOVA, with 5-6 pts. Metal on the main facings.)
