Mutation Bomb

A Mutation Bomb is held in a red pear shaped plastic case. Devised during the Cold War of the 22nd Century this weapon is designed for one purpose, to inflict those in it's radius with genetic defects. The weapon was designed to impede and devalue the Super Soldiers partaking in the various Bush Wars that comprised the Cold War but found it's way into the hands of insurgence with in the rival powers of that struggle and such groups used them for attack upon the civilian population. As the Social Wars of the 24th century escalated Mutation Bombs where again used; this time by Mutant Supremacists in campaigns against the Pure Strain Human population.
Mutation Bombs have a weight of 10 kilograms and have a 30 meter blast radius. Mutation Bombs inflict a specialized spectrum of intensity level 12 radiation upon those with in the blast radius, one where all 'D' results (Death) are instead 'M' (Mutation). During the Cold War the use of Mutation Bombs to undermine opposing Super Soldiers diminished as the results where not exclusively defects as had been intended. Near the end of the Cold War this issue was resolved but the number of improved explosives commissioned far dwarfed those of predecessors. Mutation Bombs played a role in the Genetic Crisis that escalated into violence during the Social Wars.
