The AMM-1 "Stun bomb" is an anti-magic weapon developed during the Blood War and still in use today. Since the development of the early version of the AMM-1A in 1544, seven variations have been developed so far. The one in use by the Yulsan Army Forces today is the AMM-1G.
History
When the Blood War began in 1542, Anheung's Institute of Defense Science(IDS) began researching the supernatural forces used by vampires and devising countermeasures. Since not a single vampire was captured until 1544, research was only possible through limited information gathering using remote sensing devices.
Since it was impossible to conduct detailed studies of the supernatural powers of vampires other than detecting energy from a long distance, IDS struggled with its research. Nevertheless, IDS succeeded in obtaining detailed data on the supernatural powers of vampires. IDS identified the changes in the molecules around vampires when they use their supernatural abilities, the components of the molecules observed around them, and the existence and composition of "mana," which was an unfamiliar concept at the time.
Based on the information gathered, the IDS began to study ways to neutralize the supernatural abilities of vampires. In early 1544, the IDS produced a prototype PW-50 and reported this to the government. While the military considered it a good idea to test the PW-50 before using it in real combat, it was impossible to test the weapon because not a single captured vampire was present.
In mid-1544 the military dropped PW-50 on vampires who were attempting to attack the outskirts of Gwang-Gyeong city. This resulted in the vampires within a 5 km radius losing their supernatural powers and suffering massive defeats for the first time during the war. Much pleased with the results of the PW-50s, the government and the Ministry of Defense ordered the mass production of AMM-1A, a mass-produced version of the PW-50.
Since the PW-50's first uses, the vampires began to lose ground. Within just five months Anheung had taken back its entire land, and by 1546, Anheung's army had taken back all of Ledyanoyska's land. In 1546, Anheung declared a victory when its army destroyed the vampire's home base and killed the vampire king. Even after the war, AMM-1 was constantly used in the military to wipe out the remaining vampire remnants.
Overview
The PW-50 and AMM-1A, both early prototypes, weighed 200 kg of warheads. Therefore, there were limited weapons platforms to use warheads, and the PW-50 and AMM-1A were forced to be used by large ballistic or cruise missiles, and large fighter jets. Since the end of the war, the AMM-1 has steadily improved, with the biggest improvement being the weight of its warheads. The AMM-1G, which is in use by the Yulsan Armed Forces today, weighs only 50 kg with an operating range four times that of the AMM-1A.
