    If you absolutely want the enemy to die an agonising death some hours after they have killed you, that’s your weapon.

    People seem to forget that the demon core killed far less people than it was intended to.

      It was recycled into new warheads, so the jury is still out on that one.

        I think it’s a different bomb at that point.

        Yeah, yeah Ship of Theseus but I think when you melt down, mix with other things and then recast you’ve it’s a new thing. That or all they succeeded in doing was making several haunted a-bombs and that strikes me as a bad move.

    The Black Tide series has something similar that they use to clear out zombies. It’s carried by helicopter with the shield protecting upwards, and it makes noise and flashes lights to attract the horde. They drop it off in the middle of an area they want to clear, and then pick it up a few weeks later.
