I think some peopple have gotten a little confused with what the chunky
salsa effect actually is.

It is _not_ just a massive ammount of dammage on a speified target. It is
the speccific result of blast force being reflected to smash a target from
more than one direction at the same time. The damage from this blast force
effects the targets entire body rather than a specific target location.
The result of the blast is a pile of semi-liquid biological materials that
used to be a security guard.

With standard guns (I think the ones mantioned were LMG, full auto ADPS,
HMG minigun, 15rnds APDS then a Great dragon ATGM!) you get a different
type of damage. In this case the target is ripped to pieces from
individual projectile wounds. Sure you may end up with a simmilar
semi-liquid endproduct, but you have to scrape it off of the walls, floor,
etc.


In the final annalysis, both types of attacks get results, but when you use
a grenade as the recipe suggests, it is much easyer to get it into th
eserving bowl.(for you sick puppies who go for that type of thing)

Hey, it just depends on how *CHUNKY* you want your salsa. I have had
characters actually create the salsa effect (five IPE Off. grenades in a
locker room. REALLY messy, but effective.

Other things that do that are 1) High speed hit'n'run with a Ford Bison,
2) Force 8 Hellblast, and 3) The Aussie Assault, minus the rope:)

They are also not reading messages properly.

I think you are quoteing part of a paragraph that noted PC's tried to
get close using this lot, i never claimed the same effect would
result, simply a similarish lack of target intergrity, the room the
target was standing in was too big for chunky salsa anyway.
I have seen it done with an IPE grenade and one od DNA/DOA's 2m wide
corridors oops........ you see ground backed walls don't fail.
