Implosion Charges are timed Imperial explosives[1], that are designed to inflict maximum damage within a highly confined area.[2]
Description
They are dull, metallic, plasteel ovoids with sharp ends, and are activated by twisting them around their middles. This breaks in an invisible seal near one end of the explosive, which reveals a patch of adhesive that allows the implosion charges to be stuck to walls. When they are activated, complex arrangements of explosives direct most of the force into the wall, creating an implosive effect that can shatter rockcrete and behind a man-sized hole. They can be carried[1] or equipped on Devastation Drones.[2]
