 Unsafe code has the following properties:
 
 - Methods, types, and code blocks can be defined as unsafe.
-- In some cases, unsafe code can increase an application's performance by removing array bounds checks.
+- In some cases, unsafe code can increase an application's performance by enabling direct memory access through pointers to avoid array bounds checks.
 - Unsafe code is required when you call native functions that require pointers.
 - Using unsafe code introduces security and stability risks.
 - The code that contains unsafe blocks must be compiled with the [**AllowUnsafeBlocks**](compiler-options/language.md#allowunsafeblocks) compiler option.
