A shaped charge formed around a cone of (typically copper) metal is melted by the heat and pressure of the exploding charge and basically squirted at the target.

The liquefied metal melts a hole through the armor of the vehicle and upon penetrating the crew compartment becomes an aerosol and explodes as the oxygen in the compartment causes the copper to burn explosively.

No survivors.

It sounds quick and merciful at least.
