Currently, only one type of this particular shell is designed.

The HE is a standard high explosive flak round used for the CIWS based weaponry, it has an explosive charge with a blast radius of up to twenty one meters. The shell came about during the construction of the Silver Rain Phalanx mainly for use against captured military fighters due to the lacking of shields, however it can also serve use against lightly armored or even completely unarmed targets.

There is a proxmity fuse inside of the shell that is set to blow the HE when a metallic object get's near it, because of this the shell doesn't recognize friends from enemies.

Because of some previous experience in creating ammunition for other weapons, the types of materials used to create this shell includ reinforced composite tunsten with the exterior being comprised of crynatorium.

The shell is made out of reinforce composite tunsten while the explosive compound is L-24 Explosive that is modified to work in a shell.

This HE Shell is designed to cause damage depending on how close an object gets to the center of the explosion. A strikecraft that get's hit directly will suffer serious damage depending on the type of armor or shielding it is equiped with.
