It might only be part of an abbriviaton, or a whole word.

We can only see the bottom part of the shell, so it's possible it's only the last part of a word

Dunno about the V though...


This. The "HE" is definitely "High Explosive."

The only time I've seen "V" concerning ammunition/firearms, though, is when a weapon is intended to be mounted on a vehicle, usually because it produces a ridiculous amount of recoil. The gun in the video IS pretty big, so that could be it. I guess a powered Marine combat suit could be heavy enough to offset large recoils...

Alternatively, the "V" could also specify what sort of explosive is contained within.

Don't the Terrans use gauss rifles and stuff? Why do they have shell casings at all?

Its a vomit gun shooting vomit on zergs !

That'll show those roaches, fight fire with fire!

The V might just represent the number 5.

I was under the impression it was just short for "heavy". The shell casing impales the ground with a loud thud... Why would a plot critical acronym be on a shell casing anyway?

Oh but if I really had to guess it would be something like "Highly Explosive V"...but I don't know what the V would stand for.

Was my initial thought as well - but probably too boring for it to be true (I mean, the way he plants the rifle and the way it zooms in on it seems to imply something else).

Updated the initial post with a possible explanation. Spoiler alert is shown. Read at your own peril.

Also added more screenshots. Made the lore possible spoiler double layered to ensure sure no one makes a mistake.

HEV might be used to turn kerrigan back into a human...
lol HEV virus is what turns you into a super mutant in the fallout series...


Simple lore thing for OP.

"This makes sense because in the Ghosts of the Past Trailer, Valerian says he can offer Raynor what he's always wanted, and we all know that is probably Kerrigan. Also, since the Dominion created the Zerg, its possible that HEV is the name of the substance the Dominion created in order to counter act the Zerg. Maybe.."

The Dominion did not create the zerg. Here's a quote from the wiki, "Just prior to the beginning of the game, in December 2499, an alien race possessing advanced technology and psionic power, the Protoss, makes first contact with humanity by destroying a Confederate colony world without any prior warning. Soon after this, the Terrans discover that a second alien race, the insectoid Zerg, has been stealthily infesting the surface of several of the Terran colonies, and that the Protoss are destroying the planets to prevent the Zerg from spreading. With the Confederacy threatened by two alien races and internal rebellion, it begins to crumble." Mengsk, leader of the Sons of Korhal uses psi-emitters to lure zerg into attacking confederate planets and creates the dominion out of the remains.

Watch this, 7:30 minutes into the video



So you can see how I would think that =D but I guess you are right. Anyways, we all know nothing Mengsk says can be trusted!
