I'm trying to think of applications and stats as I'm typing this.... damn, could bring a whole new world to the portability and lethality of explosives. |

They briefly mentioned protecting troops... I wonder if this could pave the way for a more advanced ablative armor. Wouldn't require a sophisticated sensor to detect incoming rounds, the shaped charge would just detonate with the impact...
'Course, I can picture replacing fence posts with RM, and watching the explosion chain react all the way around a corp enclave :) |

That would be fun, but I think I'd be looking for RM caltrops. If you step on them with unprotected feet, it hurts, but if you protect your feet (metal soles on your shoes or roll over them in a vehicle), they explode.
Replace manhole covers for quick exits (shoot the thing for a quick distraction, or to just open it very, very quickly). Lots of interesting uses, I think. |

It's just a thermite warhead. I'm not sure what the fuss is about.
Yeah. Aluminum + Rust + Fire = Hilarity. It always has. The only inovation here is firing bullets with enough force behind them to ignite the Aluminum on impact. -Frank |

Depends on how much fire. Aluminum + rust + fire in insufficient quantities (and by "quantity" I mean "temperature") = boredom.
