Area Effect Nitrothane

Nitrothane VX Infantry Incendiary Dispersal Munitions, otherwise known as Area Effect Nitrothane or AEN, is a munition used in a variety of weapons in service to the CMC, the CMC Infantry and the CMC Marines.

Design
AEN rounds vary in size, but all rounds consist of the same mechanism. Based on the Flechette round, the AEN rounds contain a Type 1 Synthetic Soul which triggers a detonation of the round at around a metre from the target using a conical radar system. The round then ignites the stored Nitrothane fuel/acid mix which then covers roughly a three metre area in burning acidic liquid.

Usage
AEN rounds are widely used throughout the CMC but heavily in both the Infantry and the Marines. They are also used by members of the Mech Project.
