Description:
Developed as part of Aurora Industries's Project Galvani, the AI-Gx02 Si-Plasma Grenade makes use of the instability of the Sianium to create a plasma explosion that can deal with both single enemies and groups. Using a micro plasma generator with a Sianium core, the grenade has a three second countdown before detonation. Upon that three seconds ending, the generator activates and the plasma interacts with the Sianium in a violent reaction.
The explosion is highly charged with energy, creating a kill radius of seven eight meters and an injury radius of fifteen to sixteen meters, that is slightly larger than a normal plasma grenade explosion. The grenades need to be transported carefully as they can be volatile in certain environments and situations, such as during electrical storms or places of intense heat.
