   Well, my almost obsession with variations on kinetic weapons is caused by one   
   conclusion.    
   Today, we have got many types of warheads used in munitions. We have high   
   explosive, kinetic, thermobaric, incendiary, fragmentation, HEAT... They were   
   all invented for certain purposes. HEAT and kinetic are mostly against armor,   
   thermobaric and frag are    
   for people, incendiary any HE are for buildings (of course they are universal   
   to some degree, but those are their main purposes).    
   So, the standard Orbital KEW is best for bunkers, buildings and armored   
   vehicles. But what if I want to burn forests where Pandora - Minh is hiding? I   
   don't want ro make craters, I wanna burn them!    
   Here are coming ideas for warheads.
