The "high explosive shell" (榴弾 Ryūdan)[1] is an energy projectile shot from an Extraterrestrial life form.[1]
History[]
The HE shell has at least two variations: one is globules of a sticky explosive compound at high muzzle velocity,[2] while the other is a beam able to shoot through a Powered Suit.[3] The HE shell is powerful enough to destroy Powered Suits with single shot.
Notes[]
- According to the Starship Troopers Memorial Handbook, the HE shell is a hot metal (possibly liquified metal).
