DLI1S Incineration Device V1

Description
More commonly known as the "Purifier"- this is a niche infantry weapon in limited production. It is designed for mass destruction of soft targets and biomass, without causing excessive damage to the terrain. While no such relevant threat exists, the Purifier would be the ideal choice for destroying a biological weapon.

The Purifier has two modes: one fires capsules containing pressurized nanomachine solution with a timed explosive in the center, designed to airburst, the other is an adjustable stream.

On contact with a target, the nanomachines in the solution begin to rapidly de-transmute any matter in range, the mass-energy harvested by the de-transmutation frenzy is then transmuted into a mixture of equal parts Dicyanoacetylene and Chlorine Trifluoride. This transforms what would otherwise be a fairly inefficient grey goo weapon into the creator of explosively violent white-hot firestorms, that don't even need an atmosphere to burn. The flames are self-perpetuating and fuelled by the target's own mass being converted to chemicals, meaning a low volume of fire can render an area uninhabitable for a long time. The weapon is self-limiting as the nanomachines eventually destroy themselves with the intense temperature.

As the nanomachines are inert until fired, this weapon has space-efficient and storage safe ammunition rendering the usage of the extremely reactive chemical payloads viable.

Limitations
This is a niche weapon; chemically achievable flame temperatures are insufficient to damage hardened targets. Direct contact with nanomachines will decay armor, but usually, this is too dispersed to be relevant.

Range leaves something to be desired.

Capsules are fired at only sonic velocities and will have a noticeable arc at longer ranges- higher velocities will degrade the capsule early.
