For the first time, Leafanistan is offering defensive weapons of mass (coming soon: focused destruction) destruction. You too can strut your stuff as a true world power.
Some restrictions apply:
The Anti-WMD Club is the monitoring agency of this storefront, and will assist me in background checks for all potential customers. If you aren't a warmonger, a batshit insane dictator, or an enemy of any of my allies, you may just qualify!
-Nations under 50 million can't participate
-Nations deemed dangerous by any advisor can't participate
-Independent organizations can't participate to prevent terrorists from gaining access to WMDs
-Massive Corporations that control nations can participate because they are technically the country
-Small groups can't participate (anti-terrorism)
Now for the actual products:
Nukes
We all love and hate nukes. They blow stuff up better than anything else, but they leave deadly, deadly radiation. So those lolheug bombs won't be for sale. Lets start then.
2.5 Kiloton Meteorite Hybrid Propulsion Tactical Nuclear Missile
About 12 meters high, this very small yield nuclear weapon is used for penetrating bunkers, destroying those goddamn "super-mega-ultra-spectacurlar-totally not compensating for something-dreadnoughts", or taking out a small military base. It ascends rapidly into the atmosphere, using its initial rocket engine to trigger a ScramJet, propeling it to Mach 5, from there, it skims the atmosphere, before descending and using all of its fuel gaining and enourmous amount of speed (Mach 7+). Being of such small yield it doens't release much radiation so residual damage is small. Can be mounted on ships, subs, and a special tracked vehicles unit. The trackd vehicles unit, includes the launcher system, a control vehicle containing the controls, and a satellite uplink vehicle, to get coordinates for the strike.
$500 million US for just one missile, the Land-based launch system is an extra $500 million US [Total $1 billion US]
22 Kiloton Faust Strategic Nuclear Weapon
About the yeild of the weapon that leveled Nagasaki (more powerful than Hiroshima), this weapon is only good on a large-scale. Wiping out major enemy fleets out at sea, enemy convoys on land, last ditch defense against incoming nuclear missiles, etc. This can level a city. Can be used as a bomb or a missile.
$1.2 billion US for the bomb, $1.5 billion US for the missile, $2 billion US for a mobile unit, similar to the one above.
Chemical Weapons
For all your blinding, choking, crying, vomiting, searing, boiling ways to inflict painful deaths and injuries on your enemies. Beware of the wind and antidotes to our agents.
Mustard Gas (Area Denial Weapon)
Unlike Sarin Gas which comes later, Mustard Gas is persistant, and will remain in the environment for several days. It is also less dangerous thank Sarin Gas, however it is still carcinogenic (cancer causing) and mutagenic (causing damage to DNA of exposed cells).
$100 million for mustard gas shells (75 20lb shells)
$1.4 billion and we teach you how to make your own
Sarin Gas
Sarin or GB (O-Isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate) is an extremely toxic substance that is one of the world's most dangerous weapons of war. At room temperature, sarin is a colourless, odorless liquid. Its relatively high vapor pressure means that it evaporates quickly (about 36 times faster than tabun, another common chemical nerve agent). Its vapor is also colorless and odorless. It can be made more persistent through the addition of certain oils or petroleum products. Sarin can be used as a binary chemical weapon; its two precursors are methylphosphonyl difluoride and a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and isopropyl amine. The isopropyl amine binds the hydrogen fluoride generated during the chemical reaction. However Sarin is very short lived and will degrade quickly.
$100 million US for a dispersal unit and enough gas to fill a 5,000 gallon tank.
$2.7 billion US, and we teach you how to make Sarin Gas
Biological Weapons
Biological weapons are perhaps the most frightening of the WMDs, and least understood and utilized. Always deploy a bioweapon with plausible denability, make sure the disease is endemic in that nation or neighboring nations. Do it covertly. However if secrecy and all the cloak and dagger business isn't a luxury you can afford, it makes a great area denial weapon, and demoralizer.
Anthrax
Anthrax, called also splenic fever, is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis and is highly lethal in its most virulent form. The most dangerous form is inhilation. Cultivating anthrax spores can take minimal equipment and about a first-year collegiate microbiological education. However, to make an aerosol form of anthrax suitable for biological warfare requires extensive training and highly developed equipment.
$100 million US we give you 30 micrograms of anthrax in liquid nitrogen
$1.7 billion we teach you how to cultivate anthrax spores
More coming soon!
