The Walking Wounded become the Walking But Still Capable Of Fighting And Mad As Hell With Nothing To Loose Anymore Wounded...
- varjag 16y agoThis is not that kind of recovery. You still would lose your teeth, hair, fingernails, vision, be extremely weak, get massive skin wounds pretty quick and gradually rot down in painful agony. You may last a week or two at hospital bed, but would be not much of a soldier. (moral weapon my ass)
- commieneko 16y agoI think you misunderstand my point. The range of effects is a gradient. At some point in the late '70s early '80s, when the controversy was fast and furious, I read an article that indicated that depending on the size of the bomb and the size of the target (with this type of weapon the target is usually a group of soldiers of some type) you end up with a gradient of results ranging from dead to something like what you describe to something like I describe to people who'll die months to years later to those statistically unaffected. The point of the article was that, from a tactical viewpoint, such a weapon could be as dangerous to the user as the target. Of course if your use case is simply to clear out a bunch of civilians from their land of milk and honey and move in, then, well sure. YMMV. Cows and bees weren't immune to neutrons that last time I checked. As to the morality of the weapon, well, let's just say that I'm glad that, for now, it doesn't seem to have many advocates.
