I wonder if this would work for real? Not in terms of tiny explosions, but radiation poisoning.

A Test on ISIS would work well.

Radioactive BBs could cause significant radiation poisoning.

Delivered on the tip of an umbrella ... sound familiar?

When I have a fire-ant hill in my yard, I kill them; I don’t try to understand them or value their diversity.

Yes. I use radioactive radiation sources about that size in my radiography process (behind lead screens, of course)that could be used for weaponizing.

Radiation poisoning for sure.

As far as mini nukes are concerned, you need enough mass to reach critical mass to cause the atomic chain reaction.

Frankly I’m not sure what they’re trying to say here. Producing small radioactive pellets isn’t exactly a technological breakthrough.

IBPCYN In before people call you names for not using the satire heading. But it is still funny.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)

in the 1950’s we produced nukes that weighed 50 pounds. In the 60 softball size ones. .....Today? Half a century later?

....don’t even want to imagine.

Supposedly the KGB used to use Plutonium pellets (shot out of umbrella guns and other such curiosities) to assassinate defectors.

I remember when Juan Peron held a press conference in Argentina with a scientist, whom he claimed had developed a hydrogen bomb for the Argentine military.

Decades later, in losing the Falkland war, Argentina's best weapon proved to be a French missile. There was sign of that impressive nuclear breakthrough.

Key typo, for which I apologize. There was no sign of the nuclear breakthrough.

Drones with suped up airsoft guns loaded with plutonium BB’s could definitely wreak havoc. Buzz Disneyland or WDW, a major NASCAR race, New Years events, etc.

Muslims and drones with cheap Walmart digital alarm clocks is my worry, suicide drones with incendiary sticks, Japan had balloons in WW2 that were launched across the Pacific, one killed two people in the Pacific Northwest years later.

The French Exocet missile which set the HMS Sheffield ablaze & ultimately sank it, didn’t even explode.

Anyway, the little Nork riceball is not so little these days, now tipping the scales at 286 lb (130 kg), a little much for someone 5’ 2’ in height. He could be even more dangerous.

Atomic AirSoft? I am skeptical.
