Overview
This ammo explodes on contact dealing a small amount of fragmentation damage to nearby objects.
Explo ammo is a raiding tool that happens to fit in your rifle. Each bullet pops on impact and does a little fragmentation damage to whatever is nearby, so a long burst slowly eats through things that would be a waste of a C4.
The classic use is finishing a target. You are one hit short on a door or a wall, the group is out of rockets, and you'd rather spend a few mags than another big charge. It works best on wooden walls and sheet metal doors, where it's cheaper in sulfur than proper boom.
It's a bad fighting round. The bullets fly slower than regular 5.56 and wear your rifle down fast, so swap back before anyone shows up. The usual way online raids go wrong is defenders arriving while the raiders still have explo loaded in every AK.
Watch out
Carry a stack of normal 5.56 too and switch the ammo type as soon as you step off the wall. Mid-fight is a terrible time to dig through your inventory.
You need a Level 3 workbench to make it, and sulfur goes into every batch. Count it against your raid budget like any other explosive.
