Carbon-carbon Tomahaw

One of the warheads of the [link|http://www.softwar.net/bgm109.html|BGM-109] is carbon-carbon threads, spools of which were deployed in Iraq and Serbia. These are strong but highly conductive wires, designed to short out electrical equipment (see response to Thane's "MO" post above). Attempts at cleanup and recovery are hampered when additional spools are windblown across circuits.

Pretty clever, specific, weapon. Zero civilian impacts.

Damned devious.

Something I hadn't even thought about - even though I shorted out and blew up an electric cutter when cutting some carbon fiber material we were testing for environmental suits...

Why Didn't I Think Of That?
