The Secret Weapon

By Aubrey Fry

I am a feared object, maybe the most of those containing ice

Fast and furious though direct and precise

I can sustain high speeds and high altitudes

Be careful if you're near me; I'm known for my attitude

I can come out of nowhere and then disappear

Because when I'm on a mission I am something to fear

I'm under a lot of pressure which has made me what I am

Cold and tough, but will burst with a WAM!

I am used in warfare, as a dangerous weapon of combat

And yet still all it takes is a little heat and I'm out flat

Dangerous yes, feared  yes, and yes sly

With all of this information tell me, what am I?
