On the balance side, it is important to remember that anything a 'runner can get his hand on, his opposition will often be able to get a hundred of, if not more.

So if you really want these ex-ex-ex explosive rounds in the game, be prepared for short campaigns as the player characters get shredded in the first or second mission.

I'm reminded of players attaching monowhips to rotodrones for some reason.

I don't think the kid wanted super extra explosive rounds, he wanted to implement the chunky salsa effect by detonating inside the target's armor.  But that is fundamentally flawed unless it is a full military suit with seal.

If you're looking for the 'superior' EX type bullet, look into the Californium bullet.

before my time but one of my bomb disposal instructors talked about back in the day they tried bullets loads with 2 grams of lead azide, or mercury fulminate (about as much that is in a blasting cap) .  Unfortunely he said the lead azide worked ok, the mercury fulminate was a little too unstable.  Said it blew up in the chamber of the gun after a couple rounds. 

That being said Check out the AA-12 with the mini explosive rounds (technical a 12 gauge fin stabilized grenade)

Back to the point these rounds are severely just wrong.  Not counting that in shadow run, if you get caught using something like this your gonna spend some quality time with loan star, and a probe named mister hammer, until you give up where you got them.
always Double Tap.
