projectiles of "heavy" type
Term "projectiles" seems to be more appropriate in military jargon than "damage agent". "Heavy fraction" is OK, but it reminds of chemical processes (such as distillation at refinery). I guess that "heavy type" is sufficient to distinguish from "light types" of projectiles coming from the same warhead.
Note from asker:
| Thanks for your suggestion. Tempting though it is to substitute the more common "projectile", I think "damage agent" is the technical term for the payload or explosive filler of a missile warhead. I suppose it becomes a projectile upon release, though... |
| Think I will adopt your other suggestion (heavy type), though. Thanks again. |
