Bioweapons and Prime Base

I was thinking MRI and/or Defibrillator.

I'd say the Taser charge is to low power on a standard shot, although if you could hand-place the electrodes properly, it would still have a chance.

For the Defibrillator, just a standard shock wouldn't work. Again, place the electrodes so that you hit pretty much the entire body at once.

The MRI? Just slide the victim in and turn it on.

I'd let someone get away with using other EMF, if they had more than one source, and could surround the body with a strong field. Better hope they have no pins, plates, or fillings...

And I think this offers a wonderful opportunity to place another variant of snake-oil seller in the game world. I reckon if news of some mystery disease striking down people without any cure starts making the rounds, many snake-oil cures will start being created but what if someone finds out that electricity or EMF might be effective?

I can well imagine travelling salesmen/woman wandering from town to town claiming their "bio-electrical magnetic body recharger" can cure all your ills and protect you from the mystery disease. And what if one of them happens to have access to some radio sets - place all the radios in a circle and get the patient to sit in the middle, soaking up all those "helpful" radio waves.
All for a "reasonable" fee of course!

Who knows, maybe one of these snake-oil sellers might accidentally cure a patient...
