The entry hole of the MPS shot round in an 8 mm (0.310") thick steel plate.
Here are some photos from 1985 showing
the penetrating power of Franchi's Metal-Piercing Shot when used in a SPAS-12.
I have little other information. It is obviously a Sabot round of
some type, made of Tungsten.

The exit hole of the MPS shot round in

1/20/00, Just found this:
From GURPS Contemporary Weapon Tables
Armor-Piercing Saboted (APS) Shotgun Slug:
+2 to Acc for shotguns equipped with
rifle sights (optional; +$50), DMG 5d+1(2).
LC 1. 1/2D ×5, Max ×7, cost ×5.
Note: This round fires a sub-caliber saboted
tungsten dart. Damage that penetrates is
not halved because of the large caliber.
The dart will punch right through normal brick
walls, cars, heavy doors, and similar
covers. (This is from a game).
