- "Highly flammable buckshot rounds consisting of a thermite/phosphorous mixture; rounds cause catastrophic physical damage to enemy combatants."
- ―W-Y ID16 Incendiary Shell description (from Aliens: Colonial Marines)
The Weyland-Yutani 21S Arc Round is a incendiary ammunition for use with Weyland-Yutani's AF13 Shotgun.
Overview[]
The ID16 Incendiary Shell is a 12-gauge modified buckshot shell with a mixture of thermite and white phosphorus causing catastrophic damages on organic tissues and having chances to set the target on fire.
Trivia[]
- The ID16 is unlocked at Marine Level 10.
- Although the NSG-23 and the MK221 having the same underbarrel shotgun, the NSG-23's one can't fire ID16 Incendiary Shells while the MK221's can't fire regular shells (probably making the ammunition redundant with the MK221's main ammunition).
- The ID16 Incendiary Shell launcher in Aliens: Colonial Marines is visually identical to the AF13 Shotgun and the U7 Tac-Shotgun.
- The concept of attaching a shotgun to a shotgun seems entirely redundant, as it would surely be possible to make incendiary shotgun cartridges that would fit in the MK221 without the need for an additional attachment, thus saving a large amount of weight on the weapon overall. The only conceivable benefit is the ability to have both types of ammunition chambered and ready to fire at the same time, but with a magazine attachment it would be possible to switch between ammo types rapidly anyway.
