I seem to remember hearing/reading somewhere that shaped charge projectiles have limitations on them as regards maximum velocity. They depend on the blast being focused due to the distance from the armour when detonated and if travelling too fast may even be knocked out of shape at the time of detonation. Maybe how squash heads were invented.
As I understand it, delivery systems for shaped charge projectiles tend to be relatively low velocity.
