User:FightWithHonor/Mk. 85 Fragmentation Grenade

Overview
Small, yet lethal, this grenade was designed to supplement the [| M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade] on the front lines as an infantry explosive weapon. Although slightly smaller, the advanced explosive filler of the Mk. 85 and its hardened ceramic and oxidized aluminum fragmentation elements give it a much wider lethal radius. Its small size has made it popular with ODST and ONI personnel, who appreciate its silent ignition system and devastating affect on enemy troops. It has reportedly sent shrapnel through the skull of a Elite standing 25 yards away, and has frequently overturned Wraiths with one well-time blast. Its high cost and complexity of manufacture have turned many buyers away, but many private security firms and special operations teams have eagerly purchased them.
