Being liquid at ambient temperature, in an explosion it would be pretty much instantly vaporized.

Mercury will turn into a mist and won’t do squat.
That’s why buckshot hurts more than birdshot.
Of course, if it does penetrate the body, Mercury will have toxic effects.

I think it would vaporize in a blast. It’s not a great projectile.
A water jet would be better, since it’s easier to get, and packs a punch at 15,000 fps.
