Flechette Rounds

Flechette Anti-Biomass Cartridges are a munition used by the CMC, predominantly in the CMC Infantry and CMC Marines.

Design
Designed similarly to AEN rounds, Flechette rounds come in various sizes for various weaponry. They use a Type 1 Synthetic Soul to detonate the round roughly a metre from the target using a conical radar system. In smaller calibres a round may contain between 3 and 15 Flechettes. In larger rounds that can be as many as 250 Flechettes per round.

These finned darts then embed themselves (using their momentum) into their target, at which point a secondary Type 1 Synthetic Soul within each individual dart detonates the dart upon impact with the target. Producing a large area of smaller detonations which can neutralize large gatherings of biomass or significantly harm larger lifeforms.

Usage
Flechette rounds are deployed mainly by the CMC Infantry and Marines, in a vast variety of engagements and situations. They have proved highly effective against Hounds and Ironclads when used in large numbers.

Members of the Mech Project also make use of Flechette rounds.
