-Destruction Measurement is a method of measuring the effective level of havok a singular weapon can wreak. It is a very loose method, and is not based on damage over time or singular rounds, but the amount of damage it can do to a single generic, unaltered human (and the collateral, if applicable). It exists to give writers an easy way to gauge how destructive a gun or bomb is without having to pour through the whole article.

 Apply common sense in dealing with the destruction a weapon can do. A pistol is not going to pierce the armour of a tank, but the right rocket sure will! Additionally, when factoring in DM for cybernetics or sturdier races, again use common sense. Most things will not shrug off a rocket to the face, but a person made of metal will be able to take anything under a 4 no problem.
