 ===Ammunition===
-The Covenant Fuel Rod Gun fires an unknown type of "Fuel Rod" that appears to be made of some type of incendiary gel. Next to nothing is known about this type of ammunition except that when it strikes a target it does so with devastating results. When the Fuel Rod impacts a area, or target, it is instantly subjected to temperatures as hot as standard plasma weapons.
+The Covenant Fuel Rod Gun fires an unknown type of "Fuel Rod" that appears to be made of some type of radioactive material. A fuel rod is a type of nuclear fuel composed of enriched uranium and a lattice of some other substance meant to hold it in rod form. The Fuel Rod Gun fires such a rod superheated which causes it to explode on contact in a process known as explosive boiling. Splash radius and damage is greatly increased due to radiation so use of such guns is usually for stand off bombardment.
