👉 The failed weapon, often referred to as the "Mach 1" or "Zero-Gravity Grenade," was a prototype designed to detonate upon impact in a vacuum, utilizing the principle of inertia to create a shockwave that could incapacitate or destroy targets without leaving behind explosive residue. However, the weapon's design failed due to an unexpected interaction with Earth's atmosphere, where the rapid deceleration caused by atmospheric resistance led to structural failure and an uncontrolled detonation. This resulted in the weapon exploding harmlessly against a tree, rendering its intended purpose of eliminating threats without causing collateral damage unattainable.
