W-Y H34 Fragmentation Rounds description (from Aliens: Colonial Marines)

The Weyland-Yutani H34 Fragmentation Round is a high-explosive ammunition for use with a Weyland-Yutani underbarrel projectile launcher.

The H34 Fragmentation Round is a 15mm high-explosive cartridge propulsed with gas-propellant and explode on impact with an effective explosive radius of two meters. It is likely a less powerful version of the Armat M40 HEDP Grenade.

Trivia[]

  • The H34 Fragmentation Round launcher in Aliens: Colonial Marines is visually identical to the U1 Grenade Launcher unit fitted to Pulse Rifles as standard. Given that the Colonial Marines Technical Manual states the U1 is capable of using a variety of ammunition types, it seems possible the name "H34 Fragmentation Round" launcher is simply a gameplay designation, and that the weapon is in fact a U1 loaded with a different ammo type. The fact the H34 is named after ammunition it fires rather than having a specific designation (unlike the U1) further supports this theory.
    • However this theory is kinda subverted by the caliber difference between the two. This grenade launcher fire 15mm ammunitions while the U1 Grenade Launcher fires 30×71mm projectiles.
  • The H34 is unlocked at Marine Level 3 alongside the NSG 23 Assault Rifle and Marine Level 15 for the MK221 Tactical Shotgun.
