Very High Explosive rounds.  Nasty.

'VHE' 12.7mm rounds by 'Things that go Boom'

The 'VHE' or 'Very High Explosive' 12.7mm rounds is a somewhat dangerous brew, sure, they can do massive amounts of damage to most targets, but the rounds have a rather high rate of misfire, often causing your weapon to blow up in your hand, something that most operatives (be it SLA or DN) would rather avoid. However, there are still some individuals that use the VHE rounds, among these are Props and some DN Espionage Agents, that wants to be able to make a quick kill or to damage heavily armored targets more easily.

Technically, the 'VHE' rounds resemble 12.7mm HEAP very much, however, 'VHE' uses a larger amount and much more potent explosive. 'VHE' rounds also uses a more potent propellant than ordinary rounds thus making it even more lethal. It should be mentioned that SLA Industries is somewhat worried about these illegal rounds due to the fact that they could cause massive devastation to SLA Industries industrial instalations. As a final word of warning, 'TtgB' advises it's buyers not to have more than a single round of 'VHE' in each magazine as misfire or premature detonation in a magazine with only 'VHE' in it would almost always be fatal to the user.
