Ot - Dime Weapons
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense_I...etal_Explosive
more info wanted...post links if u got em. As a T2K-dox designer I'd like more info regarding blast radius/penetration pr kilo of "dime-weapon" |
Sounds like a good filler for a grenade, or even a 12-Gauge shotgun shell.

I'd like to know a lot more about the requirements for detonating such a charge before I form a solid opinion.
I can certainly see the potential though for shotshell sized (or even smaller) explosive bullets. |
Back when I was a young PFC in the Army, I was reading a copy of Army Times where they were talking about possible weapons for the far future (by 2100). One of them was a new sniper bullet -- a micronuke based on Californium-252. They gave the example of a 7.62mm bullet able to destroy a 3-story building. Interesting idea, but I can't see how a nuke that small could be engineered -- or why it would even be necessary. And of course, Californium-252 now costs about $100,000 per tenth of a microgram, and has a half-life measured in weeks...

How Much would a 30 round clip cost... (probably should use single shot fire mode and no burst) |
Scientific institutions sell them to each other for experiments. Californium-252 can be made in most particle accelerators, but it's not easy or cheap apparently.

Hmmm...that would be an interesting weapon to whip up...my guess is that by FFS standards, you're looking at about a Tech Level 13-15 weapon. |
