   Tandem Kinetic Penetrators vs Whipple Sh

   So, this little idea came to me when designing my warship, and I think it's   
   interesting topic to consider in a new thread, how about using a tandem   
   kinetic warhead to puncture the whipple shield? The projectile is launched,   
   and when it's near the target,    
   it divides into two parts by small rocket (that's to have a small gap between   
   two hits), and, when first hit makes a hole in first layer and weakens the   
   second, the second hit goes through the hole in first layer, and hits the   
   weakened second layer, and    
   still has some energy to deal damage behind the armor.   
   Any thoughts?
