>>>>>[It has just come to my attention that a new type of ammunition is
comming down the pike. It is a new version of an explosive round that
make all previous models obsolete. The round is designed for assault
cannons, like the Panther Cannon, make it far more lethal that any
previous version. The round is impregnated with Californium, a
radioative isotope, that requires very little to achive critical mass,
when the projectile hits it's intented target, the round compresses,
causing the Californium to compressed together it to a super dense
version that will have critical density. This causes a VERY large
blast, not the same as a full size nuke, but enought to stop a panzer,
or any thing else that is in the way. This part in and of itself is not
too bad, however there is a new form of panther cannon comming out too,
it is called the jaguar cannon...it is able to fire in a full-auto mode,
you can see the problem. Now I have seen for my own eyes the use of the
new rounds, I have not see the jaguar however, they are keeping a tight
lid on that piece of hardware. BTW, the super x-plosive rounds can not
be use in is handgun or any SMGs, it must be used in a rifle. I did see
this new ammo take out a banshee in 2 shots, the guy who was shooting
wasn't a very good shot.]<<<<<
