#2 took the containers, shaped like coffee cans, back to a garage, stripped the lead out of at least one, and planned to melt down the metal to make shotgun pellets.

All right I'm ecalating... anything the Russ can do I can screw up better.... I need to get ahold of some depleted Uranium before the Spring gobbler season.... what's the melting point of Uranium?

#3 I knew the Russians were fond of overkill, but neutron 12 gauge rounds? Wow...
All kidding aside, there guys are definitely candidates for a Darwin Half-Lifetime Achievement Award....

#4 I get you could formulate a hell of a Dirty Harry threat line if you were packing truly dirty heat.

#5 It's the short half-life, strong emitters you have to watch out for, guys. Cesium 137, a fission by-product with a 30 year h/l, is a nasty one.

#6 Shipman, RE melting point of U238 - somewhere around 3K Celsius. Not something you'd find easy to do in your basement reload equipment.

#7 mojo - and taken to the logical next step were the neutron weapons. With them, you destroy life, but not structures or facilities. Judged inhumane by the UN / multilateralist / we-can't-make-em-so-you-can't-have-em-either crowds, Geo41 destroyed our stockpile. Do you guys miss them, yet? Someday, when the WoT has dropped the PC pretenses, we all will, methinks.
