Effects
Burst Rounds offer the [[::Category:Classes|player]]'s [[::Category:Weapons|weapons]] increased AoE hit radius and AoE damage at the cost of direct damage and range. More components of an enemy [[::Category:Airships|ship]] will be potentially hit by the secondary damage type of the gun. Also, increase AoE radius means the lower effect of drop AoE damage on borders of sphere with non perfect hit.
Range reduction comes from drop lifetime of shell, and don't affect on the projectile speed or arming distance.
AoE increase does not affect on any gun of raycast type like Whirlwind Light Gatling Gun, Barking Dog Light Carronade, Hellhound Heavy Twin Carronade, Minotaur Heavy Cannon, any Aten model, and its use in them must be avoided in all circumstances, since it only gives negative side effects.
