Soon the crew at DeathTech installed a sensor that provided two functions. 1) If the bits were spinning without making contact with a solid object (i.e. The bits had grown too dull, the missile had drilled its way through the armor, or if the MIL impacted against a shield) the firing pin would activate and cause the MIL to detonate. 2) If the bits became jammed (i.e. they encountered a alloy that they could not cut and instead lodged themselves into the armor) the firing pin would activate and cause the MIL to detonate. The end product was the MIL Missile, fully guided (through coordinates sent from the firing ship, which could be changed after firing the MIL), and very effective."@en . .
