Custom mod questions

[RiskazGLIKE]

I have played Avorion for quite a few years now, and have made a few mods myself because I found overall it's not super difficult to mod things like turrets and can be fun.

Recently I have thought of a weapon idea, but I have no clue how to implement it with modding if it is even possible to do so. The idea is that a large projectile will explode, then spawn smaller projectiles like a cluster munition. Would it be possible to mod, or is it not possible to make something like this currently?  I am not a professional programmer, but I know some of the basics and with a bit of help I believe it would be possible if you would not mind. 

Thanks!
