re: #101 Targetpractice

There’s a push right now into the idea of antimatter being used to produce pure fusion weapons, which would produce cleaner explosions and thus reduce the remaining fallout.

That seems a little dubious. Without a very big boom, you can’t sustain the temperatures and pressures necessary for fusion (which is a relatively small contributor to the effectiveness of a modern nuclear weapon, anyway). If you can get that big boom with antimatter, why then are you bothering with the fusion?

Also, holy god the most un-handle-able stuff ever.
