S1 canister shell: Difference between revisions

The S1 canister shell saw notable use by the [[M808B Scorpion|M808B Scorpion]] and later [[M808S Scorpion|M808S Scorpion]] tanks attached to the [[Spirit of Fire|UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'']]. M808B tanks armed with the S1 shell have been seen mounted with a large cylindrical external attachment on the outside of the turret, seemingly related to the storage or function of the canister ammunition, though M808S tanks utilising canister shells have not been seen to feature this. The S1 shell is extremely effective against massed enemy targets, particularly infantry. When fired, a bulky cylindrical projectile exits the barrel with a distinctive sound, and upon impact releases a large volume of sub-munitions which detonate violently around the the point of impact, leading to a high degree of destructive power in a broad radius.
