Some strange Heretic behaviour

[HotWax]

You can make projectiles not cross terrain. It's called NOCHANGEFLOORPIC or something a bit shorter, which will stop anything from putting itself outside of it's floor flat. I've used this for my LandCarrier's engine projectiles... sadly this isn't entirely foolproof, as it means they can "jump" areas of flat that are less than their radius (which in their case is about 192, so they are quite capable of hopping up the walls outside of MAP01, for instance).

However, it cannot burn underwater.

Negative. Fuel that has its own oxidizer, such as Thermite, burns fine underwater. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Burning Magnesium will have a quite vivid reaction when it's coming in contact with water.

Indeed. And just sticking potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium or even sodium into water is likely to generate a flame or two.

Mmmmm, and burn your eyeballs out their sockets...

A flame or two for Francium? Why Enjay, you make it sound so weak.

I've think I may have seen a video of Francium being put in water, but then again, given its rarity, radioactive nature and relatively short half-life, maybe not. I know that Caesium isn't anything like as explosive as people think. It does go up with a fair old bang and can easily break its container but don't be fooled by the piece of nonsense that was broadcast on the TV show "Brainiacs" if you have seen it. That was faked. They apparently did a genuine run but the explosion wasn't dramatic enough for TV so they set their own charges and blew up the bath of water using explosives. You can see the wire running to the bath if you look closely. The TV company has gone on record as admitting the fake and apologising for it.

That last part with the Caesium was funny. It behaves exactly like my cat when it hits water.

self gibbing cats? now this i must see

Dude, I loved that Caesium.

Dude, I loved that Caesium.

Mindless explosions, right in your own home.

I'd still like to see Francium.
There is a reason why. On Brainiac, Richard Hammond said he didn't know but mentioned legality issues. It's not the gigantic explosion (that they faked) that's illegal, but rather the fact fancium is RADIOACTIVE.

Which just makes me want to see it even more. Will it be like a mini H Bomb?

I highly doubt it's going to be a mini Hydrogen bomb. I think most likely it would be moreso towards a grenade, considering Caesium merely broke the container.
