Alright, I'm sorry if this took a bit longer than expected;
  • Start out with a brief description of what this is in a nutshell. I think you should just say it's a nuclear railgun round or something along those lines, then transition into what you already have there regarding it's construction/composition
  • Remove the specified amount of deuterium fuel, since if someone ever does the math, it'll drive them insane
  • Double check the size and caliber; they don't seem to match
  • Make sure to link the damage rating to the actual DR page; [[guide:damage_rating_v3|Tier 9]]
  • Regarding the range, include km as well
  • Describe the muzzle blast instead. Stuff like color, shape, size, all in brief
 
Rearranged the breif paragraph to show the name and nuclear tip first, followed by design history, and finally shell construction and main uses.

If anyone does the math, they'll find it to be accurate.

My assumption on the 5mm varience between caliber and shell width was based on a discarding sabot. Due to this not being an implication, this has been fixed.

DRv3 page has been corrected, as have all other hard numbers

I also added approximate range from the detonation point to nonlethality for an unprotected human.
