After initial acceleration by being fired from a coil launcher and clearing the barrel, the grenade is further propelled by gyrojets towards the target. Upon impact or airbursting at a range set by the launching weapon, the grenade releases a cloud of acidic glitter dust to coat the surrounding area. To prevent destruction of the glitter, a low-yield concussion charge is used for glitter propagation making the initial lethality of the weapon quite low against armored targets. Once the acid begins its work however, armor and equipment are destroyed and the sentients beneath are left exposed to its effects. In true devious glitter fashion, it has a tendency to go everywhere, finding even the smallest of gaps in armor plating and may settle in unexpected areas leaving places it’s used to be dangerous to traverse until inert.
Due to the small payload size of the warhead and the large area covered, several rounds may be necessary to fully inundate an area, especially when winds may be sweeping it about and spreading it further. The gruesome effects on living tissue and sometimes slow progress if target saturation isn’t met leave this a controversial, if effective, weapon.
