I've only got SSC 1, but I can't believe that IPE was dropped in the 2nd
ed. SSC, unless those rules were actually incorporated into the SRII core
rules the same way overpressure, FirePower(TM) ammo & reactive triggers
were. I forget.

IPE was the only thing that made grenades worth using for a long time.

Well ... that and the airburst timer.
