AHEAD SPARC SP Anti Aircraft Artillery System filled with 152 Tungsten cylinders weighing 3.3 grams each. This round, like most shrapnel rounds, is designed to explode just before reaching it's target, thereby scattering the tungsten cylinders in a cone pattern. The tungsten shrapnel continues forward at extreme speed and impacts the target over a much broader area than a regular round would effect. Because it causes moderate damage over a wide area this round is particularly well suited for point defense, ie, shooting down incoming missiles and aircraft that get too close.
