Vaporific effect is a flash fire resulting from the impact of high velocity projectiles with metallic objects. Impacts produce particulate matter originating from either the projectile, the target, or both. Particles heated from the force of impact can burn in the presence of air (oxidizer).
A vaporific effect occurs when high-velocity projectiles collide with metal objects, causing a flash fire. This results in particles being generated from the impact, which can then ignite in the presence of oxygen.
