I don’t know. A chemical agent like Sarin gas, if properly refined would wreak havoc on a significantly large population.

And so would a large amount of dynamite, or a big bunch of treacle.

Both of these cases involved a very crude version of the agent.

Yeah. Because it’s really hard to refine and hard to weaponize and hard to spread.

Chemical and biological weapons, on the whole, are more ineffecient than conventional weapons.

Conceivably, anything could cause ‘mass destruction’, from Stay-Puft Marshmellows to hand grenades, if there were enough numbers and the conditiosn were right.

If someone has a sarin delivery system capable of killing tens of thousands, then that’s a weapon of mass destruction. If it’s capable of killing forty people, then it’s not.
