Weapons of Mass Destruction in Discovery

EDIT: Plunge a Barge full of double post into a planet= Epic phail?

The first one.
A billion is a statistic

A Million is a horrid loss

I wouldn't be a proper troll if I didn't point out that just because a billion deaths is an incomprehensible number for the human brain to calculate, it's acatually more horrid than a million & not just a statisic...it's a body count that the definition of 'horrid' just can't hold a candle to

Woo...yep, I said woo.:crazy:

::still holdin' my 'rocks' & sayin' I got your ultimate WMD's right here:P::

A couple issues with that. ONe of these, is that if we use IRP scale, you would only gas a large city. Second, the blast would incinerate most of it, and shunt more out of the atmosphere. Third, you need prolonged exposure to generate phycical dependency. even if the gas hit a city, it would be a Physchological Dependence. They would go through -hell-, but it couldent kill them. To do that, you would have to drive -7- or so barges full of cardimine, which fusion reactors would probably have killed most people and or caused nuclear winter.

Why hasn't nobody mentioned the Nomad Suncrusher?

Wasn't there reference to Nanites and chemical weapons as well? Huh?

Anyways, the WMDs of Discovery are Nanites, Chemical weapons, Nukes, Antimattter and Karlotta.

Note: "Practical."
The efficacy of a weapon is not only measured in its destructive potential, but in its ease to be produced, delivered, and used safely... see "Colony Drop" for an example of all of these. Nukes are generally small, pack quite more than the needed punch for all but planets, and would be quite cheap to produce. (Note: All nuclear weapons by this time would be at least thermonuclear weapons, if not something past that... look up their destructive potential vs. a simple nuke and you'll see what I'm talking about.)

IMA FIRIN MA LAZOR!!!

SHOOP-DA- WHOOP!

But, its a non factor, as in, not here

edit: Two nanite warheads are capalbe of nearly infinite damage, its just constrained by time.

I crapped bricks.

That Cleric, is what a thermobaric weapon could possibly do to a Sigma-13 Gas Cloud.

But yeah, fire a Heavy Mortar at a Planet. Boom.

MOX Bombing wouldn't be that good. THe Phantom's one didn't really slow Cambridge down that long I think. What was it the Corsairs did to Cork, Thermonuclear warheads?

But yeah, I think there'd be something like the Geneva Conventions (banned chemical warfare) to restrict this kind of thing.

This thread is so stupid that a bird sitting on a nearby tree just EXPLODED.

Why not an atmospheric deprivation device? You know, like they used in Homeworld?
