The '''90mm S1 canister shell''' is a kind of [[Wikipedia:Canister shot|canister shot]] antipersonnel munition employed on the [[Tank|main battle tanks]] utilised by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Book|Id=prime|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|Page=42}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG86|EVG|Page=86}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=141}} | |||
The weapon is known by a handful of nicknames including "'''Grapeshot'''" and "'''Salient One'''".{{Ref/Reuse|EVG86}} | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
The S1 canister | 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. By contrast, the [[M850 Grizzly]] typically uses dual 120mm [[M310 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|M310 SBHV cannons]] - thus requiring the installation of twin additional 90mm S1 canister launchers onto the turret to enable the use of canister shot.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
