MODERATORS
I'm not that surprised. Radiation poisoning is a special kind of torture for EVERYONE. Shit would immediately invalidate any goodwill or sympathy for whomever uses them.
It would also be dangerous and expensive for the people making it.
It also wouldn't be much more lethal than a bomb of equivalent mass. If you're close enough to get a lethal dose of polonium or w/e, you're probably also getting a lethal dose of shrapnel.
