Hello all,
A while back we received a question about the various types of ammunition listed on this page. Specifically, the part of the Projectile Weapons section that says this:
Common slug thrower payloads include: explosive-tipped guided micro-shell, memo-form tipped micro-shell, spoiling penetrator, flechette, soft-shell, hydrostatic enhanced, hollow point dum-dum, infecter, mandel (fractal), wire trailing, penetrating guide point round, and more.
The person would like to know how the different types of ammunition listed would work. Unfortunately, the article doesn't really provide any explanation and the article authors are no longer active with the project. I'm also not sure if they had anything specific in mind for most of these or just thought they sounded cool.
Does anyone have thoughts or ideas on what each type of ammunition might do to justify the name? Both to answer the question asked and possibly with an eye to an expansion of this article or creation of a new one around ammunition in the setting.
Thanks!
Todd
