After initial acceleration by being fired from a coil launcher and clearing the barrel, the grenade is further propelled by gyrojets towards the target. Upon impact or airbursting at a range set by the launching weapon, the grenade releases a highly lethal burst of radiation that causes death in short order. Naturally radiation shields or armor hardened against it to a sufficient degree will block the effects of the grenade as will radiation foam. Those struck by it peripherally or managing to exit the cloud quickly are still at risk from exposure and may suffer prolonged effects before death without treatment. That said, the radiation burns itself out quickly, dropping below lethality in approximately a minute and to safe levels in under ten. It is still recommended that users utilize some form of radiation protection to prevent repeated exposures.
