| — In-game description |
The Shrapnel Mortar Shell is an anti-infantry artillery Shell used by mortars.
Description
Like other artillery shells it is indirect fire: it has a natural inaccuracy which increases with range, its trajectory is affected by the wind.
It explodes on impact. The explosion deals 125 Shrapnel damage in a 4.5m radius and decreasing amounts in a 7.5m radius.
It deals no damage to structures and very little to armored vehicles.
It has a better suppression effect on defenses than regular Mortar Shells.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot) except when wearing a Heavy Ammo Uniform (stacks of 2 per slot).
Its weight is reduced by 33.3% when wearing a Heavy Ammo Uniform.

Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot) except in ammo slots dedicated to it (varying stack sizes). It can be stored in stockpiles of Bases (32k max).
Crates of Shrapnel Mortar Shell can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content. The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depot/Seaport/Aircraft Depot (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
