Incendiary rounds are specialized ammunition designed to ignite upon impact. They typically contain a flammable substance that can create fire or explosions, making them effective for targeting flammable materials or structures. These rounds are often used in military applications, particularly against vehicles or equipment. The use of incendiary rounds raises ethical and legal concerns, especially regarding their impact on civilian areas. International laws, such as the Geneva Conventions, regulate the use of such weapons to minimize unnecessary suffering and destruction. Their deployment is often scrutinized in conflict zones to ensure compliance with humanitarian standards.
