The Shortsword is typically armed with conventional bombs for performing [[carpet bombing]] runs. When releasing its payload, the Shortsword "punches" its munitions into the ground; the munitions then explode a short time later. As the bombs detonate in the order in which they are dropped, carpet bombing runs carried out by the Shortsword resemble twentieth-century napalm strikes. Bombers equipped with the [[Maastricht/Raleigh Ordnance Delivery-Application System|M/RODAS delivery system]] can carry less conventional payloads such as the [[XGBU-302 bomb|XGBU-302 disruption bomb]] or the [[GBU-1105 bomb|GBU-1105 "cryo" bomb]]. Shortswords are additionally equipped with [[Machine-linked autocannon#M955 ASW/AC 30mm|M955 ASW/AC 30mm machine-linked autocannons]] that fires 30mm projectiles. | The Shortsword is typically armed with conventional bombs for performing [[carpet bombing]] runs.
