[The Dark]

Some interesting adventures could be had by altering the timeline a bit and having the US maintain its stock of BZ. It's low-lethality (the lethal dose is about 40 times the incapacitating dose), with effects of confusion, memory breakdown, and hallucinations. It was estimated a BZ strike would incapacitate 94% of people in the area, with 2% lethality. BZ was delivered by two methods. The first was the M43 cluster bomb, which dropped 57 M138 bomblets, each with 6 ounces of BZ and would cover between 1/4 acre and 2 acres with BZ dust. Second was the M44 generator cluster, which used three smoke generators, each equipped with 42 canisters; each canister had 5 ounces of BZ. US stockpiles were destroyed at Pine Bluff 1988-90. The anticipated use was for situations were friendly and hostile assets were intermingled (such as hostage situations or rescue attempts), where the whole area would be hit before a protected team was inserted to withdraw the friendly assets.
