"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."
Real-World Etymology
Cordite is a family of smokeless propellants developed and produced in the United Kingdom from 1889 to replace gunpowder as a military propellant. 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.
