Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[webster groves]

I think some of the newer versions of the "daisy-killer" are quite elegant. Much more chic than the original daisy-killer used in Nam that looked like "Fat-man" (the one and only).

These things have 20,000 lbs. of ammonium nitrate, aluminum powder, and polystyrene. I'm put off by the plastic component, though, and would prefer to be vaporized by pure, all-natural gun-cotton. I will however admit to confusion, because the components sound like a chemical weapon. What's the difference ? I think if it doesn't go BOOM it's a chemical weapon, and if it goes BOOM it's not.
