Explosive

Explosive weapons' bullets have a chance to explode when they impact, dealing extra damage and creating a splash damage effect allowing them to damage multiple enemies within the blast radius.

Explosive weapons are different from other elemental weapon types in that instead of dealing damage over time, all the damage is lumped into one blast. Explosive weapons are equally effective against all health types - flesh, shielded, and armored (although armored will still suffer less damage than the other types, per usual).
