So you could just fly over parked enemy aircraft and spray them with a mist, instead of dropping explosives?

Mercury is extremely heavy - I read where German U-Boats used it for ballast. They would move it forward or backwards to help the boat dive faster. I doubt you could mist it either. At any altitude the droplets would crash through most material. Good point on this is “The Day Of The Jackal” where the guy put mercury in the bullet to increase its shattering power inside the body. Closets thing to that today are Glaser Safeties.

Because of the political nature of this site I can only comfortably post a link with a caution that this is unverified and wryly amusing.
