DDT: Deflagration to Detonation Transition, the point at which a fuel goes from steadily combusting to spontaneously detonating.

It happens when you have a perfect Air:Fuel ratio, and taht's very rare, but the closer you get to the ratio, the more prone it is to detonation.

big words, what does it mean?? that it fragments at ignition from a pressure spike??

Edit: ok, is that what happened to L13's hybrid?? and does it happen offten??

Deflagration: steady combustion
Detonation: It blows up uncontrollably.

Just like a stick of dynamite.
