[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I don't think explosive rounds were ever mentioned prior to the Cylon incursion. Which was quite a dark episode (illumination-wise) so I didn't notice if you saw the explosive rounds being loaded into Team Apollo's pistols. But it was plain from the size that they weren't intended for the magazines of semi-auto pistols - too long. Although I myself have referred to the under-barrel as a grenade launcher, it's probably something we need to stop doing as they're not mini-(micro-?)grenades that are being fired. I don't know what the definition of a grenade is, but I'd imagine it's something that gets lobbed, whereas these are definitely powered projectiles (and we've seen a proper grenade-launcher anyway, on Kobol). Something akin to a GyroJet rocket pistol round, with a solid propellant accelerant stage. (also - tracer rounds, in space? No air to ignite phosporus. . .) [/QB][/QUOTE]
