The S1 Canister shell is a 90mm munition consisting of a canister with multiple high-explosive submunitions.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Scorpion}} When fired, the initial detonation of the canister is followed by many rapid follow-on explosions, saturating the area of effect with explosive fire.{{Ref/Game|Id=HWScorp|HW|Scorpion in-game unit}} | The S1 Canister shell is a 90mm munition consisting of a canister with multiple high-explosive submunitions.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Scorpion}} When fired, the initial detonation of the canister is followed by many rapid follow-on explosions, saturating the area of effect with explosive fire.{{Ref/Game|Id=HWScorp|HW|Scorpion in-game unit}} | ||
The munition is primarily utilised on the [[M808 Scorpion]] series of tanks in UNSC service (including the [[M808B Scorpion|M808B]] and [[M808S Scorpion|M808S]] models). In this manner, the projectiles can simply be fired from the Scorpions' 90mm [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|M512 SBHV cannons]], though the ability to use S1 loads is characterised by the addition of a module onto the side of the turret of unknown purpose{{Ref/Reuse|HWScorp}} - possibly to store the additional ammunition load.
