Fire the same projectile at a steel target and a glass target in separate trials. Changing only the target material helps you compare effects such as denting, shattering, or penetration.
Based on source 1.
Watch whether the projectile penetrates, ricochets, or creates fragments behind the armor. The simulation uses material properties such as density, strength, and toughness to produce those effects.
Based on source 1.
The built-in sci-fi scenes are available to watch without buying the expansion. The optional purchase adds materials and tools such as lasers and a black hole generator.
Based on source 1.
Run the same in-game shot against the T-72 cutaways with and without reactive armor. Compare penetration and the fragments produced behind the plate before changing the projectile.
Based on source 1.
Run one of the built-in experiments or choose a ready-made target. Start with a single event, such as a ricochet, so it is easier to see what happened.
Based on source 1.
Paint the design pixel by pixel and choose a material for each pixel. The editor includes tools for mirroring, outlining, replacing, and snapping the design to a grid.

Current only follows the drawn path. Inspect the connection between the power source, switch, and the part you want to activate before adding more components.
Based on source 1.
Built-in experiments run without buying the full version. The purchase adds features for building and editing, such as changing material properties and expanding the design library.
Based on source 1.
The publisher lists exporting a design as a single file and sharing it with a friend or the Workshop. Design export is listed as part of the full version.
Based on source 1.
The game can record shots as video. Use that option when you want to replay a quick impact or share what happened after changing a target.

Big update:
• New: choose metric or imperial units (ft, in, lb, °F) in Settings → General.
• Fixed: molten metal no longer makes tanks fall apart.
• New phone layout: the menus float at the top, Fire sits on the left and Record is always at hand.
• Favorites in the Library, and a visible Delete button for your own designs.
• Tanks no longer fall apart after a light hit or a while after a shot.
• More realistic penetration: WWII tank shells stay whole and go through the armour the real ones did, tungsten carbide cores no longer turn to dust, and the holes darts leave are cleaner.
• Now on iPad, full screen in landscape or portrait.
• Importing designs works on iPhone and iPad, and iPhones in Spanish or Chinese open the game in their own language.
• Fixes from players: tilt snaps back to 0, a pinch no longer drags the shot, and a quick tap no longer starts the hold circle.
• Thanks to NerdWord for the interface suggestions, and stability improvements.

Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.
Armor Sandbox is a 2D physics sandbox and ballistics simulator. Pick something to shoot, pick something to shoot at, and watch what actually happens: armour penetration, ricochets, spalling, fire and explosions, all from real physics.
Nothing here is a canned animation. Every armour plate, every projectile and every fragment is made of particles that carry real material properties: density, strength, toughness, melting point, heat capacity. Deformation, fracture, spalling, heat, fire and detonation all come from those numbers. Swap the steel for glass and it shatters instead of denting, because glass is brittle, not because somebody drew a shatter effect.
NEW: THE SCI-FI EXPANSION
Black holes, antimatter, lasers and the end of the universe, running on the same physics as everything else. 15 new materials, from a black hole generator, antimatter and lasers to strange matter, a force field, hyper-acid, a fusion core, a false vacuum and neutronium. Paint them into any target or projectile. The built-in sci-fi scenes are free to watch. The expansion is an optional one-time in-app purchase and works without the full version.
TANK ARMOUR PENETRATION
Fire an APFSDS dart at a Leopard 2, a HEAT round at a T-72 with reactive armour, or a rifle bullet at a steel plate, and the ballistics decide the result: how deep it goes, whether it ricochets, and what the spall does inside the tank.
WHAT IS IN IT
• 110+ materials: steels, aluminium alloys, tungsten, uranium, ceramics and glass, concrete and stone, wood, rubber, water, fuel, explosives, nuclear materials and working electrical parts
• 70 projectiles: pistol and rifle bullets, APFSDS long rods, shaped charges, HESH, railgun slugs and three detailed missiles
• 90+ targets: armour plates, layered armour, deep blocks, ballistic gelatin, bunkers and circuits
• 36 tank and vehicle cutaways: T-34-85, Tiger I, Panther, Sherman, IS-2, T-55, M103, T-72 with and without reactive armour, M1A2 Abrams, Leopard 2A6, Challenger 2, BMP-1, M113 and more, plus cars, trucks, a bus, a tractor, a fighter jet and attack helicopters, each with its real armour, ammunition, fuel and engine inside
• 60+ ready-made experiments, from a ricochet to a chain of nuclear explosions
