Re: [UT][HT] 15mm Gyroc White Phosphorus
Looking at the WP warheads detailed in High-Tech, 1d and a 5-yard burst would be generous for a 15mm warhead.
Damage has nothing to do with the projectile's base (kinetic energy based) damage, and is all about how much WP it can carry. A 120mm mortar round does 6d, 42-yards. A 60mm mortar does 2d, 15-yards. A WP grenade doesn't have any explosion damage, just a 5-yard burst.
You could have a 15mm WP round just do the WP burning damage to the target as a follow-up attack. Having the WP deep inside would make it very hard to remove, so that's a 'free' 6d burning damage, though over a long time period (in terms of GURPS combat).
