Abacwaningi bakufakazele ukuthi izikhali zezimoto zisebenzisa izinto ezihlanganisiwe zegwebu lensimbi zingavimba izinhlamvu ze-0.50 caliber kanye nama-projectiles okubhoboza izikhali. Nakuba isisindo sawo singaphansi kwengxenye yesisindo sezikhali zensimbi zendabuko, umphumela waso wokuvikela uyafana nezikhali zensimbi zendabuko. Lokhu kutholakala kusho ukuthi abaklami bezimoto bazokwazi ukuthuthukisa izimoto zempi ezilula ngaphandle kokudela ukuphepha, noma ukuthuthukisa amakhono okuvikela imoto ngaphandle kokwenyusa isisindo semoto.

I-composite metal foam material iwuhlobo lwento eyigwebu elakhiwe ngamabhola ensimbi angenalutho. Lawa mabhola ensimbi enziwe ngensimbi engagqwali noma i-titanium yensimbi futhi afakwe ku-matrix yensimbi eyenziwe ngensimbi, i-titanium, i-aluminium noma amanye ama-alloys ensimbi. Kulolu cwaningo, abacwaningi basebenzise insimbi eyinhlanganisela yensimbi eyinsimbi, okusho ukuthi imbulunga yonke kanye ne-matrix zenziwe ngensimbi.

Kulolu cwaningo, abacwaningi badale isistimu yezikhali eziqinile ehlanganisa iphaneli ye-ceramic, ingxube ye-foam core yensimbi, kanye nepuleti elingemuva le-aluminium elincanyana. Ukuhlolwa kwezikhali kusebenzise izinhlamvu ze-0.50 caliber kanye nama-projectiles okubhoboza izikhali. Ijubane lokwethulwa kwezikhali zokuhlola lisukela kumamitha angama-500 ngomzuzwana kuya kumamitha angama-885 ngomzuzwana.

Ungqimba lwensimbi oluhlanganisiwe lwensimbi lukwazi ukumunca u-72-75% wamandla e-kinetic wenhlamvu kanye no-68-78% wamandla e-kinetic we-projectile yokubhoboza izikhali.

Ngaphezu kokuba nesisindo esincane, igwebu lensimbi eliyinhlanganisela liphinde lisebenze kakhulu ekuvikeleni ama-x-reyi, imisebe ye-gamma kanye nemisebe ye-neutron, futhi amandla ayo okuvikela umlilo nokushisa aphindwe kabili kunawezinto ezijwayelekile zensimbi.
