The weapon m1_81mm_mortar_white_phosphorous_barrage_dot_mp is listed as small arms. I am not sure if it used by any unit but is that category correct for the weapon since other dot abilities have it as explosive?

I might be mistaken, but I seem to recall something being adjusted with white phosphorus barrages so that they didn't just destroy buildings like crazy. I think making it small_arms was the fix for that.

But I'm just pulling a guess out the memory bank that is my arse.

I did a quick search in the mod tools, all other white phosphorus is in fact ballistic. If it where flame, it would help burn down buildings and if it where big explosive or small explosive it would help destroy buildings. I am not an expert on damage types how they interact with everything else but it should not make much of an difference for it being small arms.

Weapon types are used for criticals. A critical can only be activated by selected types. For example, I think small arms can only trigger 'death', while flame weapons could also cause 'burn'. Larger weapons can cause criticals like engine damage etc.
