Default Incendiary rounds, for Killing It With Fire!

Ordinarily, WP or other incendiary merely adds the Inc damage modifier. That's because smallarms can hardly fit all that much incendiary material.

What if one were prepared to put an ounce of white/red phosporous or some other incendiary, such as TPA, inside a specially designed large-bore slug? What kind of damage would that do on contact with someone? For how long would it burn?

What about an ounce of thermate, assuming one could arrange for a decent fuze?

A 40mm grenade would support four to five ounces of either, easily. What could one expect to see with WP (or similar) on one hand and thermate on the other? In both cases, no bursting charge, just a contact burn, designed to damage a target of a direct hit.
