I think the problem is you'd need a new pistol that can fire that load without causing the gun to gently caress up and not cycle properly.

These rounds are SO powerful, you have to cycle the action manually after each shot in order to clear the residual power left behind in the chamber. Otherwise the gun might build up too much power and disintegrate the target entirely— which is against the Geneva Convention.

I mean, prolonged exposure or consumption is the issue really. Don't hug them 24/7 and you are fine. Most of the radiation is Alpha/Beta with sparse Gamma. The bigger issue was people being exposed for extended periods or eating off them, chipping off the glaze, and consuming it.

So, you'd have to basically hug it 24/7 for years for it to be an external issue. Consume chips of it though, and that can be a major problem. Part of the big problem of the 30s/40s was Uranium glazed Tile used in Bathrooms and kitchens. So you are standing, sitting, crawling on radioisotopes for long periods of time, for maybe years at a time.

Drunken vent here.

Crackheads have posted up again. RV next to my house. Parking Enforcement sent them away some months ago. They're back.

Watched them smoke up, called 5.0 and got told to gently caress off.

Physically knocked up every neighbor in a 1 house radius. Some/ They too have called 50.

Police are telling me to shut up. I have moved big guns from my mom's to here. I have hours of video of their activities but no illegal actions.

So here we are today. I really needed law enforcement to help me. They will not. They are there smoking up and I am here FBR.

Drunk + guns + worried about neighbors and monitoring them is a bad triangle. Drop one of the three or the likelihood of a bad ending goes way up.

British Engineer 1: "I say old boy, if the Soviets hit the Fulda Gap in division strength, there's not an awful lot to stop them trundling their tanks all the way to the Atlantic coast"

British Engineer 2: "hmm, what say we bury some low-yield nuclear mines across that area when the signs are imminent, and as soon as they leave their line of departure, set them off?"

British Engineer 1: "well yes, but what if they attack in winter, the cold will be too much for the mines' circuitry!"

British Engineer 2: "hmm..... how about we fix up some sort of enclosure we can put the mine in and put a chicken on top with a week's supply of food, the chicken's body heat will be enough to keep it going until we need it!"
