Didnt want to go to far offtopic there ;).
Sure Incendiary is the best arming decrease option for a mine ...
Was talking about Hamsters comment on Hades and lflak ...
Incendiary just isnt to benefitital on a hades. The other options are much better.
Usually the small difference between heatsink and greased doesnt matter due to the fast fire rate of greased.

I really agree with Alistair. Incendiary gets you an extra 7.5 metres vs. greased. That's basically worthless, especially when you consider all the drawbacks.

Great work, Levi. I really like your elaboration and illustration of the hades ballistic visor.

Regarding incendiary rounds: I don't consider them a viable ammo pick either. The arming distance reduction compared to greased rounds is almost neglect-able, as is the chance to add roughly 2 additional fire stacks/clip. These minor perks just don't make the cut to seriously consider it a good trade-off for a dps reduction by 1/3rd compared to greased rounds.
Charged rounds for (a marginal) dps maximization in normal range and burst rounds to increase the already large AoE of the hades might be worth to be mentioned here though.

Wundsalz
I'm not one for upgrading the normal ammo id rather just go for far range or close range... so i couldn't really offer up any advice on the matter... but i do agree if you are used to to firing arc of normal ammo both charged and burst would be good choices.
