Intent: To create adhesive shells for use by standard artillery as an area of denial weapon.
Development Thread: If necessary.
[SIZE=10.5pt]Manufacturer:[/SIZE] Overwatch Industries
Model: KM – 101 Adhesive Shells
[SIZE=10.5pt]Affiliation:[/SIZE] Overwatch Industries and its clients
Modularity: No
[SIZE=10.5pt]Production:[/SIZE] Mass-produced (transaction approval required to use)
Length: 1m
Weight: 9kg
Material: The shells contain an thickened hot-melt adhesive encased in a ceramic outer with a layer of gunpowder under it, and separated by a thinner layer of the same ceramic material used to create the shell.

Description: The KM – 101 Adhesive Shells are created as an area of denial weapon for use by standard artillery. The impact of the shell hitting the ground causes the gunpowder to explode, damaging enemies within a 5 meter radius in addition to releasing a thickened hot-melt adhesive which spreads to a 20 meter radius. The adhesive greatly affects the mobility of infantry, and non-repulsor lift vehicles that it hits or attempts to cross the affected area. After 3-5 hours, the adhesive will harden after 3-5 hours and any vehicle covered in it will have greatly reduced mobility.

The hot-melt adhesive used is clear in colour, and has been modified to be thicker and stickier than normal hot-melt adhesive. This adhesive can reach scalding hot temperatures upon explosion, giving its victims 1st - 3rd degree burns.

What are the explosive and adhesive substances? And how is the adhesive dispersed without triggering the explosive?

 

[cheshire_kitty]

[member="B.I.A.N.C.A MK VII"] The adhesive is a thickened epoxy and the explosive substance is gunpowder. The thickened epoxy is spread when the gunpowder explodes upon impact.

Epoxies are generally flammable at high heats, which gunpowder igniting to explode would certainly reach. How is this epoxy not burned away from the explosion?

Changed epoxy to hot melt adhesive.

You're going to have to specify what this hot melt adhesive is, then, and describe it in the description of your submission.

The hot-melt adhesive is the type of adhesive used in glue guns. It is simpily referred to as hot-melt adhesive, I have tried finding different types of it so I could specify the one used buy I could find none.
