The Directed plasma field-charged slug (or DPF) is the ordnance fired by the terran warhound through use of a railgun and is capable of firing ammunition at 3000 meters per second.[1]

Both the walker and the slug are developed by Axiom Ordnance. It features a heavy slug accelerated to a discharge velocity of three thousand meters per second. The slug itself is charged with a plasma that disperses in a tightly focused cone from the point of impact. The DPF penetrates armor plating more effectively and more quickly than gauss weapons at a lower velocity,[2] and without the threat of collateral damage posed by explosive ordnance. When fired on an exposed human body, it simultaneously melts, burns, and blows it apart.[3]
