I stand corrected... Tungsten , not Titanium is the material of choice.. Apparently my updated "Typo 18.3" did not engage the "Old fart forgets to check, 8.4" feature.
Now, where did I put the app for that... it's laying around here somewhere.. ;)) In any case, the lawn dart weapon from hell could / can apparently deliver incredible amounts of energy to a very localized impact zone without leaving nuke nasty. Seems it would be the weapon of choice for total fear and intimidation. Unfortunately, it is no where as sexy as the B-58. There is a prime example of one setting at Pima Air Museum in Tucson, which is just across from Davis Mothan where airplanes go to die. If you have or can make the opportunity to go to that museum you should plan for at least two days and comfortable shoes for an aviation orgy.
