Look, a single spoon of this stuff can create an explosion that is 10-20 times as strong as the typical fusion weapon.
I don't think it's a good idea to give it to infantry lmao Bit of misunderstanding here. In Eve Online the Gallente/Caldari use Antimatter charges but the entire round isn't comprised of the stuff - just the core. They never actually state how much is in that core either and it's generally assumed by the Eve Online community (the role-playing ones at least) that antimatter rounds are comprised almost entirely of the actual containment with a tiny portion of actual antimatter and that's a logical assumption given that you don't want this stuff just going off in your cargo bay.
EVE takes place in space, where the Antimatter has much less Matter for it to react with. In an atmosphere, the Antimatter would actually react within the cyclotron of blaster weapons, and would turn the AR into a suicide gun.
I'm not 100% sure about railguns, but it would probably work for them because the slug might do a good job of safely transporting the Antimatter to the target.

Blasters don't fire the whole hybrid charge like railguns do though. There would be no barrier between the Antimatter and the atmosphere. Exploding guns...

Magnetic Conatinment field due to the projectile being in a Plasma state...
You can't be sure there is no matter within the field though... They would probably just substitute the Antimatter with a more stable element that isn't Antimatter. I can't imagine the Gallente taking such a risk.
