If set, the warhead will fire this weapon upon detonation, from the impact point, if the impact point is not inside a structure. The amount of shots to fire is set by ShrapnelCount=.
This is used for the Prism Tank reflection effect.

Note: this weapon has to be attached to some (potentially dummy) unit, so that the game loads this weapon at startup time. Failing to do so will result in Internal Errors whenever the shrapnel effect is supposed to fire.

-Specifies the weapon that is fired when this projectile explodes at its target. This is used to create the Prism Tank weapon effect. For this to work, the projectile also requires a ShrapnelCount=, and the ShrapnelWeapon= itself must be defined as a weapon in its own right in the RULES file, with its own Projectile= and Warhead=, and that weapon must be allocated to a unit in the game (typically a 'placeholder' solely for this purpose) even if that unit never actually gets used.
