Actually, never versions are connected to sensors and detonate before the projectile hits the tonk.
And one of the possible weapons to surpass metal gear is giving everyone and everything ERA, so that hitting only one of them starts a chain reaction as the shrapnel activates other slaps of ERA, then those also activate other slaps of ERA, then it goes on until there's no more ERA. It would destroy everything in a given area.
So if you march in 10 000 infantrymen into a city, all of them wearing ERA, then the enemy will be forced to use only melee against them, or risk total annihilation.
