'''High explosive ammunition''' is a type of ammunition used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. In HE ammunition, an explosive compound is added or mixed in with the standard type of gunpowder. After the bullet has been fired from the weapon and has hit a target, the compounds inside the round will ignite, thereby offering a potentially larger entry wound, a deeper impact wound, and a dangerous exit wound. The rounds are therefore useful for placing exact shots at the more vulnerable parts of the body, namely the head and torso. | '''High explosive ammunition''' is a type of ammunition used by the [[United Nations Space Command]].
