Just checked out your rules.

Just one thought, why would autocannon rounds have an explosive filler?
A massive
object that strikes the target will do a lot more damage than a similar
one that
gets broken into small fragments. Not to mention that some of these
fragments will come back at you.
(exactly why aircraft don't fire self destroying cannon rounds, they
would suck the fragments into their own air intakes)
