''"In its purest form, Cordite is a smokeless powder composed primarily of nitrocglicerine. An elaborate processing procedure transforms this powder into an extremely dense solid. Cordite is so strong, in fact, that in laboratory tests it consistently withstood direct hits from war-grade [[missiles]]. Cordite can only be weakened by simultaneous strikes with multiple missiles."'' |

Cordite is now obsolete and it is no longer produced, but famed for its odor which is frequently associated with the aftermath of a war. |
