Best Answer

The kinetic energy of a projectile is directly proportional to its mass. When the projectile strikes, it transfers its kinetic energy to the target in the form of damage. For a fixed volume, a greater density means a higher projectile mass (density=mass/volume). Therefore a higher density means greater damage in the form of penetration and fragmentation.
