Looks gnarly

That's a big shockwave, and lots of shrapnel!

It occurs to me how the UAF needs more efficient anti-infantry weapons, to counter meat wave assaults.

Could also pierce oil tanks when oil depots are being attacked.

Turn those walls into sieves and ignite the oil.

This might become the deadliest weapon system for infantry. I've seen a couple of them (improvised one I guess) hit orcs and they just drop dead instantly in a given radius.
