PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Krupx Munitions
• Model: KXB-110 "Red Blanket"
• Affiliation: Open Market
• Modularity: Moderate
• 
  Production: Mass-Produced
  
• Material: Durasteel, Bomb Components

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Bomb
• Size: Very Large
• Weight: Very Heavy
• Ammunition Type: Thermal Paint
• Effective Range: 50 kilometers

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Inertial Guidance System coupled with deep space Helix Syndicate observation posts.
• Shield Disruptor Package

Strengths:

• Shield Penetrator: Every KXB-110 bomb is equipped with a shield disruptor package, which allows the bomb to "pierce" through conventional shielding, theater shields, and planetary shields by creating a temporary gap in the shield that closes behind the missile.
• Thermal Paint: As the outer shell of the KXB-110 peels away, the aerosolized thermal paint sprays out in a large swathe, coating the ground and everything and everyone below for a distance of 500 meters in a 50 meter wide line. The baradium core then ignites, setting fire to the paint.

Weaknesses:

• Soft Targets Only: The thermal paint payload cannot penetrate armor and would do little to even light vehicles other than to set the outside of them on fire.
• Imprecise: Once the bomb is away, there is no way to control who is affected by the subsequent flames, especially if there is a strong breeze.

DESCRIPTION

Have you ever seen the red fire retardant dropped on wildfires by firefighter air cars?

The KXB-110 "Red Blanket" looks like that in action, except it is not.

If you have ever had the urge to crop dust enemy infantry with thermal paint, then detonate that paint so that the very air itself catches fire, incinerating your enemies below in a half-a-kilometer long swathe, then this is the bomb for you.

Hello, I'll be judging your submission this evening. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'll need the actual links here as well.

Modularity: Moderate

What about this makes it have a modularity rating? This is generally a yes or no field.


Also, does this bomb explode through impact, or a timer?

1. Edited.
2. It is the same bomb casing for all KXB-110 models Krupx produces, just with a different payload.
3. Fuze. It breaks open in mid-air, saturating the ground with thermal paint as described in the submission.

Please add this to the submission.

So from what I see youre basically making a napalm-type deal. Does the thermal paint explode into an incendiary or does it merely explode? Because the link given explains that thermal pain explodes, making a hole, not explodes into a fire.

However, I could be misunderstanding, is the fire mentioned here, meant to cause the explosion? Or does it explode into a large fire?

The baradium core then ignites, setting fire to the paint.

The baradium core goes off, which is explosion number one. This causes explosion number two when the fire sets off the thermal paint. Thermal paint does explode, but that explosion involves fire.

Fire from explosion number one causes explosion number two and subsequent fire from explosion number two.
