The Special Weapon

[Blood & Ice Cream]

sooo.. i am the only one thinking that Scratch is going to appear on a roof top toting a M72 LAW rocket launcher just when a helicopter flies by?

Yeh could be. I'm sure any other rocket launcher type weapon could do the same job too.

Burt was stocking a nuclear warhead. Check out http://crapaganda.com/science-fact/f...y-experiments/.

"In the 1960s, the Army had more than two thousand guns meant for launching small nukes, each with a maximum range of only 2.5 miles. The Army lit one of those firecrackers in the Nevada desert during the summer of 1962 while Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy watched. It exploded only 1.7 miles from where it was launched, and was the last above-ground nuclear explosion conducted by the United States."

If the tankers didnt do enough damage, this might. This would be why Durai is leaving town.

Yea, it was called the Davy Crocket.

I do not think you are too far off the mark with this one. If raydon labs, or whatever the name of the mega corporation is has enough juice to have a top secret experiment spanning the globe and literally wipes humanity off the map with it suffers a hickup, I could see them gathering a few davy croketts in some accounting gimicks. Burt is of the right age to be a part of those DIP (Die In Place) Divisions to be stationed with those weapons in the Fulda Gap. Interestingly, World War Z references this type of thinking when Wainio (battle for yonkers) says the last of the Fulda-%uck-tards...

Do I actually believe what I wrote above. Probably not. But, there is enough background information to make plausible. Especially when there are zombies running around in the mythos

Isn't a weapon like that a means of last resort? First thing is they'd have to outrun the thermal blast if they planned on living.
Whatever the weapon is, i'm betting it isn't a 1 and done type like a launcher. It'd have to be something that works on multiple targets. Having said all that, I don't feel that it'll be something so mundane as a BFG (Big F'n Gun) or rocket launcher.

How the hell could Burt have concealed what is, in essence, a fat boy from Fallout 3? With any ammo for it (Goddamn mini-nukes)?

I totally agree with you it would have come up at least ONCE in conversations with at least Saul, Angel or Micheal about defence plans against the mallers or THEM
