212.127.0.126: Suggested changes. I would also ask that you review the sentence beginning 'This same effect can be made...' - I'm not sure exactly what is meant by that. I would also revise the trivia section for phrasing.

''"SCP-018 has the appearance of a Super Ball made by the Wham-O company in 1969. It is six (6) centimeters in diameter and coloured red.SCP-018 was able to bounce with over two hundred percent (200%) efficiency (that is, if dropped one (1) meter, it would bounce two (2), then four (4), then eight (8), then sixteen (16)).The ball soon became a dangerous projectile, reaching speeds estimated at over 100 km/h and damaging property and injuring five (5) in the city of █████████████"

"Due to the speed of the object, and the total surprise by its victims, no cover-up story was required or initiated."

=Description=
'''SCP-018''' is a usable SCP, meaning any human player may pick it up and use it for their own benefit.

SCP-018 will spawn in a [[SCP-Pedestals|SCP-Pedestal]] which will spawn in various locations around the map. Pedestals require a keycard with both {{ReqAccess2|CCA M|Containment Access Tier 2|Containment Access Tier 2}}and {{ReqAccess2|CA|Checkpoint|Checkpoint Access}} to open.

When thrown with {{Key Press|Left Click}}, SCP-018 will bounce around the room it was thrown in, dealing damage on impact. As it gains momentum, it will gradually accelerate and deal incresingly more damage. SCP-018 will break any glass that it hits and, at high momentum, will break down any normal door (except gates, the doors to 106's chamber and the Alpha Warhead door on Surface).

After a certain number of bounces, the object will exit the facility by exploding through a wall.

==Uses==
SCP-018 can be thrown by pressing {{Key Press|Left Click}}.

If bounced at a correct angle, SCP-018 will bounce perpendicular between 2 points, effectively preventing anyone from passing through temporarily. This same effect can be made though an entire hallway with doors open, or, if the doors are closed it will create a nasty surprise for someone heading in its path.

SCP-018 could also be used to open locked doors. This is useful to players who do not have appropriate keycards, or in late-game scenarios when [[SCP-914]] becomes inaccessible.

SCP-018 is potent as a crowd control weapon, dealing huge amounts of damage to a squad of Chaos or NTF. It is espiecially potent when used in an elevator or similar confined space, as it will most likely kill everything inside.

==Trivia==
*During development, a placeholder sound was used for the bounding noise the object makes. This was one of the developers saying "reeeee".

*On the SCP-wiki, SCP-018 was planned for use in a super suit, it would allow the user to jump over buildings or kick with unbelievable force.
