UNSC Ordnance

The UNSC uses a wide plethora of ammunition, some of which ranges for the crude to high tech. Though some were previously banned by the Geneva Convention and Hague Conventions, such rules of war have been laxed in the light of recent 'extiction events'. With the introduction of high power smokeless powder and heavier metals for armour penetration, UNSC ammunition has higher velocities, high penetrating power and higher stopping power than before.

Small Calibre Ammo
Ammo for pistols, magnums, SMGs and PDWs.

12.7x30
The ammo type chiefly used by the M6L PDWS Magnum and the M33 Revolver. The ammo is large with hefty amounts of stopping power and destructive power.

The M229 HESH has a copper-steel jacket and is filled with plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuse. On impact, the plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target, and spreads out to form a disc or "pat" of explosive. A tiny fraction of a second later, the base fuse detonates the explosive, creating a shock wave that, owing to its large surface area and direct contact with the target, conducts very effectively through the material. This makes it useful against well armoured soldiers.

The M228 Semi-Armour-Piercing High-Penetration uses a copper jacketed round with lead filler than an EXCALIBUR rod. The jacket has a expansive hole on the front, making it deform upon impact, preventing it from leaveing the body of it's target. The round expands into a series of barbs.

The M227 JHP uses a copper semi-jacket and a lead filler with a expansive hole for expanding inside the target and causing serious wounds. The round expands into a series of barbs.

The M226 Armour Piercing High Penetration round utilises a copper jacket with a lead filler then an EXCALIBUR rod. Those results in a bullet with high penetration but rarely used due to its habit of over penetrating it's targets.

The M225 Semi-Armour-Piercing High-Explosive is the round primarily in use with the M6 and M33 series pistols. The round is copper jacketed with a hollow point on the front so it deforms in impact but shortly after impact the fuze, just beneath the hollow point, detonates the RDX filler, causing it to explode in or on contact with the body.

The M224 HE uses a two layer jacket of copper and EXCALIBUR to penetrate modern body armour and then deliver a payload of RDX filler that explodes on a delayed fuse so it explodes within the body.

The M223 Semi armour piercing delayed high explosive is one of the most insidious rounds in UNSC operation, used primarily for UNSC Spec Ops. The round uses a two layer jacket of copper and EXCALIBUR with grooves to make it deform inside the body, keeping the bullet, with a RDX filler that uses a delayed fuse, the fuse automatically set so the first one has a longer fuse than the last bullet to leave the chamber, attempting to allow them to all explode within the target consecutivly. The time frame allowed only allows for ten to be inserted into a target before they all explode. After that, the next group to be shot will 'reset the counter'.

5x23mm
The 5x23 caseless ammunition is a specialised round that dispenses with metallic casings and instead uses a nitrocellulose molded round that, upon firing, combusts the nitrocellulose and then launches the bullet and remaining gases, leaving nothing behind. This round is usually used by the M7 SMG

The M443 Caseless Full Metal Jacket uses a steel jacket and lead filler, providing adequate stopping power.

The M444 Caseless Jacketed Hollow Point is copper semi jacketed round with a expansive hollow point in the lead filling, allowing the round to expand within the object it enters. The round expands into a series of barbs.

The M445 AP, a rarely used round, utilises a copper jacket, lead filler and an EXCALIBUR rod to provide penetration.

The M446 Semi armour piercing delayed high explosive is one of the most insidious rounds in UNSC operation, used primarily for UNSC Spec Ops. The round uses a two layer jacket of copper and EXCALIBUR with grooves to make it deform inside the body, keeping the bullet, with a RDX filler that uses a delayed fuse, the fuse automatically set so the first one has a longer fuse than the last bullet to leave the chamber, attempting to allow them to all explode within the target consecutivly. The time frame allowed only allows for ten to be inserted into a target before they all explode. After that, the next group to be shot will 'reset the counter'.

The M447 SAP round uses a two layer jacket of copper and steel with fused alloy EXCALIBUR core for maximum penetration. As the standard round, the weighty round penetrates enemy body armour at large distances quite easily.It has a number of grooves in the jacket that deform the body upon impact, causing further injury. The fused alloy core fragments on contact with heat, namely the human body and causes extra damage.

4.8x32mm
The small 4.8x32 is minimize weight and recoil while increasing penetration of body armor for use in a PDW Weapon or newer pistols. It features a bottlenecked case and a pointed bullet and 'shatter by design' cannelure to increase its effectiveness as anti-personel round. It is comprable as a scaled down rifle round. Much of the 4.8 was developed from older PDW rounds developed by Heckler and Koch and Fabrique National Herstal Group.

The M110 FMJ uses a hardened steel jacket and a lead filler for penetration of armoured infantry.

The M111 JHP uses a copper semi-jacket and a lead filler with a expansive hole for expanding inside the target and causing serious wounds. The round expands into a series of barbs.

The M112 AP is a improvement, based on controversy that the FMJ standard bullet lacks use against armoured targets. It has a solid fused alloy steel core with copper jacket. The fused alloy core fragments on contact with heat, namely the human body and causes extra damage.

The M113 Semi armour piercing delayed high explosive is one of the most insidious rounds in UNSC operation, used primarily for UNSC Spec Ops. The round uses a two layer jacket of copper and EXCALIBER with grooves to make it deform inside the body, keeping the  bullet, with a RDX filler that uses a delayed fuse, the fuse automatically set so the first one has a longer fuse than the last bullet to leave the chamber, attempting to allow them to all explode within the target consecutivly. The time frame allowed only allows for ten to be inserted into a target before they all explode. After that, the next group to be shot will 'reset the counter'.

M114 HE uses a two layer jacket of copper and EXCALIBUR to penetrate modern body armour and then deliver a payload of RDX filler that explodes on a delayed fuse so it explodes within the body.

M115 Enhanced Armour Piercing rounds use an enhanced propellant and a fused alloy EXCALIBUR munition to provide a high velocity round that delivers substantial effect against even heavy enemy armour.

6.8x32mm
The 6.8x32mm caseless ammunition is a specialised round that dispenses with metallic casings and instead uses a nitrocellulose molded round that, upon firing, combusts the nitrocellulose and then launches the bullet and remaining gases, leaving nothing behind. This round was modified from existing 6.8mm rounds for use in new carbines requring compact but powerful ammunition. the ammo is in fact, comparable to the standard 7.62x51mm round, with similar accuracy and penetration properties. The 6.8 was original based upon the 6.8 SPC Remington.

As the standard round, the weighty round penetrates enemy body armour at large distances quite easily.It has a number of grooves in the jacket that deform the body upon impact, causing further injury. The fused alloy core fragments on contact with heat, namely the human body and causes extra damage.

The M77 round uses a double envelope of copper and Tungsten carbide with a filler comprising of a capacitor and a red IED (though green, yellow, white and blue versions exist.) and can only be seen from the position/side of the firer, removing the notion of 'tracers working both ways'.

The WP-07 TIR uses a metal bullet casing, with inner mechanisms for igniting the white phosphorous. Highly effective compared to earlier versions, the ignition begins once the bullet makes contact with a surface, and the phosphorus goes on to melt through the casing and hit the target.

The M79 HESH has a copper-steel jacket and is filled with plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuse. On impact, the plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target, and spreads out to form a disc or "pat" of explosive. A tiny fraction of a second later, the base fuse detonates the explosive, creating a shock wave that, owing to its large surface area and direct contact with the target, conducts very effectively through the material. This makes it useful against well armoured soldiers.

14.5x114mm
The standard ammo for the UNSC SRS99.

M12 armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot is the standard round for the SRS99. The round uses a spindle type sabot made of aulluminium-steel alloy to vent the explosive charge that proppels it out of the gun and break away since the nitrocellulose adhesive is combusted, leaving the four finned kinetic penetrator spike, made of EXCALIBUR and skinned in steel, to hit its target. The target is capable of penetrating multiple infantry targets, thin concrete walls and light armour under 70mm.

M13 armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot uses a hardened steel kinetic penetrator, to avoid the massive over penetration of the M12 APFSDS.

M14 armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot uses a hollow steel spike so it shatters on contact with medium armour or buildings and on contact with infantry and infantry armour will pierce and fragment or fragment and pierce them, meaning minimal over penetration, though results are not predictable.

The weapon has prolific armour piercing abilities on par with the M12 APFSDS but a secondary pyrophoric effect allows it to increase its anti material purpose by burning targets. On impact with with 'hard' targets, the KP penetrates and then fragments, spreading the pyrophoric fragments. This allows it to be useful against lightly armed APCs with exposed crew.

M17 armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot is the standard round for the SRS99. The round uses a spindle type sabot made of aulluminium-steel alloy to vent the explosive charge that proppels it out of the gun and break away since the nitrocellulose adhesive is combusted, leaving the four finned kinetic penetrator spike, made of EXCALIBUR and skinned in steel, to hit its target. The round is coated in pyrosene VI which is ignited by the combustion of the round and gives it secondary, incediary abilites, greatly increasing its anti material ability, with it being capable of setting fire to ammo and fuel stockpiles. The target is capable of penetrating multiple infantry targets, thin concrete walls and light armour under 70mm.

M18 Anti Infantry Sensor Fused fin-stabilised discarding sabot is a newely developed round, used in conjunction with the fire control AUGUR scope. The round is fused to explode after a predetermined distance, set by the fuse control, sending out a spray of EXCALIBUR incendiary flechettes.

M310 HE-FS shell uses a copper and steel double jacket with a solid RDX filler and contact detonator. It mounts a set of four flip out spin stabilizing fins.

M311 HESH-FS shell has a copper-steel jacket and is filled with plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuse. On impact, the plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target, and spreads out to form a disc or "pat" of explosive. A tiny fraction of a second later, the base fuse detonates the explosive, creating a shock wave that, owing to its large surface area and direct contact with the target, conducts very effectively through the material. In the case of the metal armor of a tank, the compression shock wave conducts through the armor to the point where is reaches the metal/air interface (the hollow crew compartment), where some of the energy is reflected as a tension wave. At the point where the compression and tension waves intersect, a high stress zone is created in the metal, causing pieces of steel to be projected off the interior wall. This fragmentation injures and kills the crew, damages the equipment and ignites the ammo, rendering the tank useless. Its also effective against buildings. It mounts a set of four flip out spin stabilizing fins.

Missiles
The UNSC employs a wide range of missiles for engaging and destroying enemy forces at a variety of ranges, through a wide range of means. As with the UNSC's 'Active Stealth Precision' policy, all missiles have lightweight, maintenance free LIDAR/RADAR invisible paint with Infra-red suppressive laminates.

Air to Ground
Air to ground missiles are employed by Strike Fighters and Gunships to engage enemy forces on the ground with high accuracy and deadly precision, allowing them to engage both infantry and vehicular targets with no indifference in deadliness. AGM missiles can be fitted with disposable chaff pods to confuse enemy defensive RADARS and other sensors and obscure their position. Most missiles use 'invisible boosters' to separate them from the launching platform by upwards of two dozen metres, then launch, to obscure the launcher's position.

AGM-76 PINCER missiles are designed for busting tanks and fortifications, using three stage motors and a mixture of jam resistant millimetre wave RADAR laser guidance and infra-red imaging and logic systems for avoiding counter measures. Its tandem HEAT warhead makes short work of reactive and standard armour. After firing the missile no longer requires guidance. The missile has programmable mission parameters and can be guided in by laser designators as well as home in on prospective targets not displaying a IFF code or use all homing methods.

AGM-204 Threat Suppression Attack Missile is a low cost self protection missile for hitting incoming missiles, sensor positions, SAM sites or AAA. Small and short ranged, they rely on speed, using a high impulse motor to reach hyper velocity. It is directly linked to the ships defensive systems, launching upon the target when the threat is detected, using millimetre wave to home in. The 'no frills', large scale HEAT charge is often catastrophic against it's targets, with sufficient destructive power to flatten most RADAR facilities and annihilate most tanks.

AGM-64 BARB missiles are fire and forget missiles, using infrared sensors to track the target, assigned by the pilot. The missile boosts the hyper velocity then coasts, making only minor adjustments with the fins to stay on target and then boosts again on terminal approach. The HEAT shaped tandem charge warhead can be changed upon launch, so either it explodes on contact or it explodes a few moments after contact, after the kinetic energy of the missile has buried the warhead into it's target. The BARB is much more powerful than the PINCER, capable of tearing open Scarab Walkers.

AGM-55 ACID Missiles are anti-radiation missiles, homing in on electronic signals. It can detect, attack and destroy a radar antenna or transmitter with minimal aircrew input. The proportional guidance system that homes in on enemy radar emissions has a fixed antenna and seeker head in the missile's nose. A smokeless, solid-propellant, dual-thrust rocket motor propels the missile at transonic speed. The missile's on-board software can track targets even after they've shutdown and counter decoys, only within a short distance though. It uses a a tandem charge warhead to punch into even reinforced bunkers. It can be used against stationary targets like radio antennae, RADAR facilities and against RADAR vehicles and command vehicles, being able to distinguish between a vehicle's on-board RADAR and a a actual dedicated RADAR and the same with radio signals, which enables it to target command vehicles. It also has a limited air to air capability, being able to hit enemy RADAR and Radio support planes. It can also be used to home in upon radio or RADAR sources on enemy capital ships, meaning it can attack enemy RADAR and radio transmitters in space as well. If the enemy RADAR disengages before it can get a positive fix on its location, it enters loiter mode, deploying its large wings and shutting down its engine. Once the RADAR reactivates, the missile's hypersonic rocket motor kicks in and the wings retract, allowing it to home in and destroy the target.

AGM-91 NEEDLE Missiles are over the horizon smart missiles, used for targeting long range targets. They use on-board advance software along with satellite, aerial and ground targeting reconnaissance to home in and destroy its targets. It has on-board infra-red imagers and on-board GPS to navigate and hit its target, along with on-board decoy detection and logic systems to determine the real target. The missile it self, after launch, deploys its wings and skims close to the ground to avoid detection at hyper velocity. It uses expensive long burning fuels to enable it to cover up to 700km. This allows normal fighter bombers equipped with these missiles to engage targets outside of their visual range. Weighing just under 1200 kilograms, it can take variable payloads, including a dual warhead with a penetrating warhead then a fused explosive, for anti tank and anti bunker usage, a thermobaric warhead for flattening buildings, a solid explosive payload, air bursting and incendiary flechette dispersing.

AGM-207 Electro Magnetic Objective Combat Utility Tactical Missile (EMOCUTM) is a mid range combat missile, made using the airframe of the BARB. Using laser guidance and alternately pilot designation from the pilot's RADAR, the missile homes in on its target with precision and upon impact, detonates a large compressed flux generator. This creates a intense electro mangetic pulse, with a range of twenty meters. This can disable armoured vehicles, infantry combat systems, command systems, communication systems or severely damage a shield unit. This allows the aircraft to go ahead and disable enemy vehicles, defensive positions and command structure. Despite being based on the BARB airframe, it uses a new high power motor to help carry the heavy payload, a new air-bursting fuse linked directly to the RADAR and a new targeting system.

AGM-331 ANTLER Multiple Independently Targeted Vector (MITV) Missiles are a advance long range anti tank missile. The missile consists of a long range cruising missile, guided to its target by RADAR while maintaining a level altitude. It uses a nose mounted infra-red imager and its RADAR to then achieve a lock on for the ten on-board AGM-76 PINCER missiles, which are ejected then activated by a explosive charge, right after a prior charge has shedded the missile skin. This single missile can engage up to 10 enemy targets with lethal accuracy and potency.

AGM-553 SPUR Multiple Independently Targeted Vector (MITV) Missiles are a scaled down ANTLER missile. Instead of 10 PINCER missile, it contains 18 SABRE 102mm missiles. It cruises at high speed to its target then it uses a nose mounted infra-red imager and its RADAR to then achieve a lock on for the on-board missiles, which are ejected then activated by a explosive charge, right after a prior charge has shedded the missile skin. This single missile can engage up to 18 enemy targets with lethal accuracy and potency.

Air/Space Intercept
The UNSC employs a number of air and space operable air to air missiles for destroying enemy aircraft. These boost away from their launch platform, then activate, in order to mask the launch platform's position.

AIM-11 CLAW is a medium range missile that uses dual electro-optical/infra-red and active RADAR to seek out targets, accelerating to high-hypersonic speeds in atmospheric conditions, and to incredibly high speeds in space conditions. Upon nearing the target (1000 metres), it releases a spray of 3 independently powered, steerable flechettes at about twice the speed of the original missile, in a five metre spread, to ensure the target is crippled or destroyed. Each flechette is made with a solid nose cone of EXCALIBUR composite material and has sides of fused alloy EXCALIBUR-beta, is rocket powered, steerable by 10 control surfaces and filled with a explosive payload so it fragments within it's target. The delayed fuse is designed so it explodes within the opposing fighter, or deploys all of it's explosive firepower against a enemy shield. The warhead has sensor fusing that deploys the flechettes in the optimum attack pattern to destroy it's target. The sub-munitions are guided by short range telemetry information provided by the launching missile. The missile is ultra agile with vectored nozzle thrusting, twenty control surfaces and intelligent design. It has anti-countermeasure systems to aid it in closing and destroying it's target.

AIM-34 HORN Beyond Visual Range Air to Air Missile (BVRAAM) is not a replacement for the AIM-11 CLAW but is a complementary missile, designed to work with the AIM-11 CLAW in a mixed load out. Whereas the CLAW is short to mid ranged, the AIM-34, built on the same airframe but with a new motor, can engage targets beyond the visual range of the pilot. It uses the RADAR of its host vehicle to achieve lock on then once launched and cruising uses its own millimetre wave RADAR to continue tracking its target and achieves optical lock with its dual electro-optical/IR seeker as soon as possible. Once it has closed in for the kill, its terminal motor activates and it switches to optical, to avoid enemy countermeasures, though the RADAR is still operable for passive detection should countermeasures defeat it. It delivers a spray of flechettes that tear the target apart. The missile uses a highly fuel efficient (and expensive) rocket fuel to provide the long distance travel. The warhead has sensor fusing that deploys the flechettes in the optimum attack pattern to destroy it's target.. The missile is ultra agile with vectored nozzle thrusting, twenty control surfaces and intelligent design. It has anti-countermeasure systems to aid it in closing and destroying it's target.

AIM-47 Rostrum Anti Electronic Long Range Air to Air Missile (AELRAAM) is a medium range missile intended to deal with interloping electronic warfare craft. The missile is near unobservable thanks to its stealth coating a cryogenic bleeders. It uses a triple method of homing, using Jam homing to detect ships operating high output systems in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as aircraft operating powerful RADARS, sending false RADAR signals, operating RADAR jamming or providing electronic warfare support. Once detected by the jam homing system, it uses the electro-optical/IR homing system to aid in homing in and destroy the target with a flechette warhead. The warhead has sensor fusing that deploys the flechettes in the optimum attack pattern to destroy it's target.. The missile is ultra agile with vectored nozzle thrusting, twenty control surfaces and intelligent design. It has anti-countermeasure systems to aid it in closing and destroying it's target.

Air/Space Anti-Capital ship
ASM-13 TALON is a missile launched by bombers than uses a two stage rocket, one for boosting away after launch and another for the terminal approach to the target. It uses infra-red scanners, active RADAR and superhetreodyne reciever aerials let it lock onto EM emissions of the target. The warhead is a forged fragment ring that is fused to explode so that it creates a lethal cloud of penetrating fragments, blowing holes in ships, damaging vital systems and depressurizing decks. after that a single EXCALIBUR penetrator rod passes through the hole made and punches into the ship. The forged fragment explodes once inside the hull, causing more damage internally. It uses a coolant jet system to hide from enemy detection. These boost away from their launch platform, then activate, in order to mask the launch platform's position.

Surface to Air
MIM-44 STINGER Surface to Air Missile is a three stage air defence missile, using active and passive seeking systems such as RADAR, optical, UV, IR and jam homing, all the time assisted by its launcher. The third stage is hung back for the terminal flight phase. Upon nearing the target (1000 metres), it releases a spray of 7 independently powered, steerable flechettes at about twice the speed of the original missile, in a five metre spread, to ensure the target is crippled or destroyed. Each flechette is rocket powered, steerable by 10 control surfaces and filled with a explosive payload so it fragments within it's target. The delayed fuse is designed so it explodes within the opposing fighter, or deploys all of it's explosive firepower against a enemy shield. The warhead has sensor fusing that deploys the flechettes in the optimum attack pattern to destroy it's target. The sub-munitions are guided by short range telemetry information provided by the launching missile. The STINGER is explosively launched from it's firing platform, then activates it's motor, actively launching it without revealing the launch platform and then speeds up to high-hypersonic speeds using a pulsed rocket motor. When jettisoned from the launcher, it deploys a infra-red decoy, confusing tracking systems in observing the decoy instead of the missile threat.

FIM-43 CANINE Surface to air missile is a 102mm hyper velocity, millimeter wave RADAR tracking missile, designed for destroying air targets with kinetic energy. The CANINE is explosively launched from it's firing platform, then activates it's motor, actively launching it without revealing the launch platform. When jettisoned from the launcher, it deploys a infra-red decoy, confusing tracking systems in observing the decoy instead of the missile threat.

Anti Tank Guided Weapon
The UNSC deploys a variety of anti-tank missiles deployed from ground based launch platforms, allowing them to engage and destroy vehicles at stand off ranges. All UNSC anti-tank missiles can be fitted with chaff dispensers to confuse enemy detection systems on terminal launch.

MGM -34 FANG Anti Tank Guided Weapon is a missile that, when a target is tagged upon its infra-red scanner, it will use millimetre wave RADAR and infra-red sensors to home in upon the target. Possessing a large HEAT shaped tandem charge warhead, it can puncture the armour of enemy tank and give smaller vehicles a fighting chance.

BGM-89 VENOM Anti Tank Guided Weapon is a hypervelocity intelligent missile with a 11.3kg Payload and is powered by a two stage rocket. The first stage is used to blast it clear of the launcher and then steering nozzles align it with the target and then the second stage rocket accelerates it to hyper velocity. The sensor in the nose hold a infra-red imager, millimetre wave RADAR and superheterodyne aerial allowing it to target active RADAR jammers. Upon approach on a vehicle it scans it and and identifies it from the UNSC net. If it has been fired at a friendly it will abort the attack but if it is a confirmed hostile or unknown it will asses the optimum attack location and home in upon that. The warhead contains a 15 centimetre Tungsten carbide kinetic penetrating rod surrounded by RDX filler. It is detonated just before impact, launching the rod into the vehicle. Combination of the mac 4.5 hyper velocity and the explosive launch, the rod can penetrate any armour. The missile, should it miss, has one final trick up it's sleeve. Should it miss and imbed itself in a object, it will remain there as a IFF controlled land mine, using the RDX filling to create a concussion mine with deadly effect against infantry.

BGM-41 SABRE Anti Tank Guided Weapon is a 102mm missile that is infra-red guided. When targeting a tank it will got for the hottest part of the tank, usually the vulnerable and thin engine armour. When fired it heads at the target at maximum velocity then changes it's attack profile to best match it's target, usually diving straight up then straight down on the target. It has advance logic systems allowing it to identify decoys and reject them in favour of its main target.

FMG-42 MANDIBLE Missile is a 102mm missile that utilizes the laser range finder on the M41B2, and the laser guides are able to "steer" the missile. Sensors detect where the infra-red laser is pointed, and in turn, wherever the laser guide is pointed, the missile will maneuver towards. This feature allows the missile to be maneuvered by a soldier to avoid misses, contrary to heat-seeking missiles, which can be avoided easily by smaller vehicles and aircraft.

Anti-Heavy Walker
The MGM-2 "Improved Scarab-Slayer" Anti-Heavy Walker Missile, codenamed VIRAL, is designed to destroy large, heavily armored walkers such as the Covenant Scarab and the Necros Gravedigger. It can use a variety of different guidance systems, including IR,LIDAR,and GPS to locate it's targets. The MGM-2's warhead consists of a long EXCALIBUR penetrator rod and a follow through RDX charge to ensure the death of the walker's crew or the destruction of the walker's power core.

The MGM-3 Anti-Heavy Walker Missile, codenamed INFECTION, is a scaled down CORROSION missile for operating against super heavy walkers.

Artillery
MGM-77 TOXIN Cruise missile comes with either HE warhead, using a massive amount of RDX to cause hellish damage, bomblet dispensing, dispensing dozens of smaller bomblets across a target zone, Anti-Aircraft, using force of impact and RDX payload to destroy enemy aircraft and Nuclear warheads with a yield of 1.5 megatons. The missile is guided through a mixture of GPS, TACCOM, satellite uplink, remote guidance and optical tracking, using all of these or just one to home in on a target.

Spaceship launched
The RSM-131C ARCHER missile, thoroughly modernized, is now a much more capable weapon, using a boosting warhead of nine explosively pumped flux compression generators, who unleash a burst of EMP upon impact, with the EMP yield increased grealty by the transformer like aluminium coils around them, with the rest of the warhead coated in a TRIDENT composite metal with a primary warhead of a forged fragment ring for penetrating the hull. After that the third warhead, containing a number of penetrating rods covered in Tungsten carbide. These punch through several decks of the ship, causing serious damage. While the head is solid Tungsten carbide the sides of the penetrating rods are made of forged EXCALIBUR fragmenting shell, designed to fragment and cause much more perforation of the ships internal systems with the RDX filler goes off. The Archer is now upgraded with a number of systems to help it bypass ship defence system, such as jet coolant systems, drastically reducing its heat signature, advanced armour, mostly focusing on heat resistance, using heat resistant polymers and a titanium-aluminide heat matrix and a set of second stage boosters for a sudden burst of speed upon terminal approach. For those systems that jam Archer missiles, cutting them off from the ships that launched them, they now have infrared sensors and millimetre wave RADAR, allowing it to home in without the launcher's assistance or use superhetreodyne receiver aerials let it lock onto EM emissions of the target.

RIM-13 THORN is a ship launched anti starcraft missile. It uses dual optical and active RADAR to seek out targets, with three stage rockets. The first is the primary launch booster, the next is the cruiser booster and finally the hyper velocity booster, accelerating it to hyper velocity. Much like the Archer it is coated in ablative resin to hide its presence and jet coolants to hide it during the second stage of 'cruising'. If need be, it can home in on jamming systems, destroying enemy jamming systems. Upon nearing the target (1000 metres), it releases a spray of 13 independently powered, steerable flechettes at about twice the speed of the original missile, in a five metre spread, to ensure the target is crippled or destroyed. Each flechette is rocket powered, steerable by 10 control surfaces and filled with a explosive payload so it fragments within it's target. The delayed fuse is designed so it explodes within the opposing fighter, or deploys all of it's explosive firepower against a enemy shield. The warhead has sensor fusing that deploys the flechettes in the optimum attack pattern to destroy it's target. The sub-munitions are guided by short range telemetry information provided by the launching missile.

The RGM-145 MARKSMAN missile is a spacecraft-launched air-to-ground missile for accurate orbital strikes. The missile can be armed with many types of warhead, including high explosive, anti-personel and anti-tank submunitions, and mine dispensers, both anti-tank and anti-personel

Surface to capitalship
MSM-124 CORROSION missiles are missiles launched by ground installations to low orbit or atmosphere situated capital ships. The missile is essentially a upscaled Archer missile with a boosting warhead of 12 explosively pumped flux compression generators, who unleash a burst of EMP upon impact, with the EMP yield increased greatly by the transformer like alluminium coils around them, with the rest of the warhead coated in TRIDENT composite metal with a primary warhead of a forged fragment ring for penetrating the hull. After that the third warhead, containing a large number of penetrating rods covered in EXCALIBUR. These punch through several decks of the ship, causing serious damage. While the head is solid EXCALIBUR the sides of the penetrating rods are made of forged EXCALIBUR fragmenting shell, designed to fragment and cause much more perforation of the ships internal systems when the RDX filler goes off. The CORROSION is now upgraded with a number of systems to help it bypass ship defence system, such as jet coolant systems, drastically reducing its heat signature, advanced armour, mostly focusing on heat resistance, using heat resistant polymers and a titanium-alluminium heat matrix and a set of second stage boosters for a sudden burst of speed upon terminal approach. For those systems that jam Archer missiles, cutting them off from the ships that launched them, they now have infrared sensors and millimter wave RADAR, allowing it to home in without the launcher's assistance.

102mm
FSR -99C SPINE rockets are a high speed, variable payload rocket. Choice of rockets include
 * The C1 has a Explosive shaped tandem charge to create a very high-velocity jet of metal in a state of superplasticity that can punch through solid armor.
 * The C2 Thermobaric rocket consist of a container of a finely powdered solid fuel of differing particle size mixed with a low percentage of oxidizer and binder. A high explosive charge is placed in the middle of the mixture. The weapon is initiated upon firing, and the explosive charge bursts open the container and disperses the fuel in a cloud. The heat released by the oxidizer gases then helps ignite the smaller solid particles mixed with the compressed hot air behind the shock leading the blast wave. This sustains a hot environment which allows 100% fuel combustion to be achieved. If fuel particles have a size distribution, smaller particles get ignited in a short period of time,providing heat for the combustion of the larger particles. Smaller particles burn rapidly and remain tied to the local gas,while the larger particles move more freely and mix with new oxidation sources,allowing a more sustained combustion than provided by a single particle size
 * C3 HESH rockets are filled with plastic explosive and a delayed-action base fuse. On impact, the plastic explosive is "squashed" against the surface of the target, and spreads out to form a disc or "pat" of explosive. A tiny fraction of a second later, the base fuse detonates the explosive, creating a shock wave that, owing to its large surface area and direct contact with the target, conducts very effectively through the material. In the case of the metal armor of a tank, the compression shock wave conducts through the armor to the point where is reaches the metal/air interface (the hollow crew compartment), where some of the energy is reflected as a tension wave. At the point where the compression and tension waves intersect, a high stress zone is created in the metal, causing pieces of steel to be projected off the interior wall. This fragmentation injures and kills the crew, damages the equipment and ignites the ammo, rendering the tank useless. Its also effective against buildings.

60mm
FSR-58 BITE HEAT rockets use a explosive shaped tandem charge to create a very high-velocity jet of metal in a state of superplasticity that can punch through solid armor.

Grenades
The UNSC uses a variety of grenades launched for hand held weaponry, for use as heavy anti-infantry and light anti-armour duties. UNSC grenades are usually fired at around at mid velocities, making the much faster than their predecessors.



40mm
HE shells use large amounts of RDX in their filler, making grenades that once fired and armed, explode on contact or after a short delay fuse, and explode.

HEDP shells, much like HEAT, produce a jet of molten metal that can pierce armour on light vehicles, while providing all the effects of a HE Grenade.

HEAT shells consist of a shaped tandem charge allowing it to pierce the weaker armour on medium and even heavy vehicles.

Airburst Shells explode while still within the air, showering the ground below with shrapnel, to provide a maximum casualty radius for soldiers in cover.

Bounding shells do not explode on contact but instead a small charge propels it into the air where it airbursts from two meters up.

Incendiary shells use pyrosene VI in a highly compressed state. When fired the primer activates and on contact, the secondary detonator spreads out pryrosense VI then the primary one detonates it, much like a Thermobaric weapon, creating a fireball that consumes the target zone.

Flechette shells are loaded with EXCALIBUR fin stabilized flechettes that shred infantry.

Incendiary Flechette shells are loaded with EXCALIBUR fin stabilized Incendiary flechettes that shred infantry.

The RDX ESP is the standard ESP projectile and is stuffed with RDX, giving it a serious bang, for use demolishing soft structures, cripple soft vehicles, killing enemy infantry.

The Gertex ESP is a much more dangerous ESP round, since it is a much more volatile explosive. This can be much more destructive in all uses, if unpredictable.

The Pyrosene VI ESP, upon detonation, explodes in a violent fireball, engulf the immediate area in a fireball. Useful against 'soft' targets, open topped vehicles, soft vehicles and flammable material.

The Thermite ESP packs a large amount of thermite, immediately melting the surrounding area upon detonation, making it useful in destroying enemy equipment at range, fouling enemy vehicles or use of soft targets.

The Tracer ESP works like any other ESP by detonating some time after sticking but instead of exploding violent, it has a red LED in it, providing a tracer light.

The Flare ESP, upon detonation, projects a bright flare, providing some illumination or target marking.

The Smoke ESP projects a smoke screen, with varying colours depending upon the type, upon detonation.

Missiles
RSM-45 AVENGER Nuclear Missiles are the primary nuclear arsenal carried by warships, replacing older SHIVA missiles. These are designed for maximum effect against enemy warships. They use a single thermonuclear warhead in a Lithium Triteride ring to boosts its explosive fire-power. The warhead is further wrapped in a Karlson-Hughs sphere, designed to increases its electromagnetic effect though keep it more locally contained along with making it fade into background radiation much quicker. This allows it to be much more harmful to vessels in the area of effect and more beneficial to the attacking fleet. It has a variable 20-90 megaton yield, enabled by programming prior to launch (and can be corrected mid flight). The missile is guided by shipboard computers, inertial tracking and a optical camera in the nose cone. Its EMP effect is almost twice that of the blast radius.

RSM-46 VENGEANCE Nuclear Missiles are primarily used in disabling enemy vessels for capture or pursuit. The missile uses a minimal amount of nuclear material in a Karlson-Hughs sphere, maximizing its electromagnetic potential. This can render even a shielded cruiser dead in the water but it has little area of effect, only 3km, though only one direct hit is needed to render a ship inoperable, and most modern cruisers of this size can reboot their systems in under an hour.



AGM-47 RETRIBUTION Nuclear Missiles are the primary missile ordnance for firing at ground positions. The nuclear weapon is designed for maximum thermonuclear effect over things such as radiation or electro magnetic post. Primarily designed for destroying enemy strongholds of little strategic use to the UNSC, as 'scorched Earth' technique, a weapon of denial to stop the enemy from gaining a strategic location or item in the face of intangible odds and as a a weapon to use against oncoming enemy armies, primarily against their base camps. The weapon also saw use in a air-burst role, attacking enemy Lander vessels and low flying capital ships. It is launched from a specialized cruise missile with inertial guidance, GPS and optical camera for remote guidance over a near unbreakable data link. The weapon has a variable payload of 1 to 30 megatons, programmed prior to loading. It can be launched by UNSC bombers or interdictors.

RGM-48 REVENGE Neutron Missiles are nuclear missiles designed to minimize 'destruction' potential in exchange for releasing mammoth amounts of radiation, aiming to kill or disable local forces in the blast. The radiation is short lived though, resulting, with the use of Scrubbers, of the area being irradiated for a month at least.

RGM-49 RETALIATION Nuclear Missile is a multi-warhead missile designed for striking multiple targets. Intended for destruction of a whole entire continent. The weapon contains six warheads that split up just after atmospheric entry and then home in on individual targets for destruction. These can also be used on oncoming enemy fleets, with each warhead targeting a different warship or different points on each warship. The warhead is the same as the RETRIBUTION, with six 1-30 megaton variable warheads.



FGM-50 REPRISAL Tactical Nuclear Missile is a 200mm Nuclear warhead that can be launched from a infantry held launcher. the missile has a relatively clean blast zone, resulting in maximum saturation of damage to a target zone then saftey for following attacking units. It has a 1.5 kilometer blast zone.

Other
VINDICATOR Nuclear Bomb is a handheld nuclear 'hand grenade', roughly a similar size to an over inflated ball. The nuclear bomb is cased in Karlson-Hughs sphere with Lithium Titride inner layer, boosting the small weapons explosive yeild. It has a blast radius of 1.5 kilometers

JUSTIFICATION Nuclear Mine is a tactical nuclear mine for orbital and deep space deployment. It is layered in active camouflage and ablative coating, allowing it to be near invisible to RADAR and sight. It is coated in numerous layers of radiation absorbent materials, dissipating its radioactive signal. The weapon can either be proximity armed, to explode when a ship that does respond to its IFF queries or explode upon receiving the detonation signal. It is outfitted with a 30 megaton bomb.

Missiles

 * RGM-121 APOCALYPSE Single Warhead Antimatter Missiles are devastating missiles armed with an antimatter warhead, consisting of a piece of antimatter suspended in a vaccuum chamber by an electromagnet. When in storage, the antimatter missile's electromagnet is connected directly to a nuclear power plant or ship's power supply. When on board a bomber or heavy fighter spacecraft, the missile's electromagnet is powered by a battery with a life of 24 hours. If the battery dies or is destroyed, as it is when the missile impacts the target, the antimatter piece will fall to the bottom of the vaccuum chamber and contact the matter of the vaccuum chamber, causing a massive explosion (100 times the power of a hydrogen bomb when one pound of antimatter is contained within a warhead) in a reaction known as annihilation, which converts 100 percent of the antimatter and matter's mass into energy. APOCAYLPSE missiles are rarely used because of their power, but when they are deployed, the target is usually an absolutely massive ground target like a major city or large capital ship, like a carrier, supercarrier, dreadnought, or super-dreadnought.


 * RGM-122 ARMAGEDDON Multi-Warhead Antimatter Missiles' warheads work in the same way as APOCALYPSE's, the only real difference is that the ARMAGEDDON carries multiple warheads, for targeting multiple capital ships or groud targets. So far, the UNSC military has never had to deploy one.


 * AGM-123 CATACLYSM Air/Space Launched Antimatter Cruise Missiles are devastating missiles armed with the same antimatter warhead as the APOCALYPSE antimatter missile, consisting of a piece of antimatter suspended in a vacuum chamber by an electromagnet. When in storage, the antimatter missile's electromagnet is connected directly to a nuclear power plant or ship's power supply. When on board a bomber or interdictor spacecraft, the missile's electromagnet is powered by a battery with a life of 24 hours. If the battery dies or is destroyed, as it is when the missile impacts the target, the antimatter piece will fall to the bottom of the vaccuum chamber and contact the matter of the vaccuum chamber, causing a massive explosion (100 times the power of a hydrogen bomb when one pound of antimatter is contained within a warhead) in a reaction known as annihilation, which converts 100 percent of the antimatter and matter's mass into energy.CATACLYSM missiles are used to destroy large ground targets such as bases and cites as well as space targets such as orbital platforms or large capital ships, like a carrier, supercarrier, dreadnought, or super-dreadnought. CATACLYSM missiles mounted on I-660 Spear interdictors were used to great effect by Ross East Jr. of the UNSC Air Force in the destruction of a particularly imfamous Necros super-dreadnaught know as "The Thing That Should Not Be".

 * The DOOMSDAY Antimatter Mine a tactical antimatter mine for orbital and deep space deployment. It is layered in active camouflage and ablative coating, allowing it to be near invisible to RADAR and sight. It is coated in numerous layers of radiation absorbent materials, dissapating its radiactive signal. The weapon can either be proximity armed, to explode when a ship that does respond to its IFF queries or explode upon recieving a detonation signal. It is outfitted with a 1 pound antimatter bomb consisting of an antimatter orb suspended by an electromagnetic field in a vacuum chamber. The electromagnet is powered by an on-board fusion core which de-activate when the device is triggered, allowing the antimatter to come in contact with the bottom of the vacuum chamber and trigger a catastrophic annihilation reaction.
