    when the skinny missiles are at terminal velocity, i'd imagine it would still have quite a large crater, large missiles wouldn't be used unless targeting a base with no risk of collateral damage.

    I doubt they'd leave craters. That sounds like a pretty major design flaw.

    And are they just dropped or are they shot out of the satellite? If they were shot, then they could easily be going faster than their terminal velocity, which would be quite teh deadliness.

    Geez, if it's possible to shoot a bucket from orbit that way, they should do it because they can.
    If not, it's some crap of a god they've got there

    Surely don't need it to be a twig in order to avoid hitting kids. Seriously.

    It's not a twig. For it to have enough mass to do something, it's 8-12 feet long and about as wide around as an average man iirc

    Exactly. You don't need it to be that thin in order to avoid unwanted collateral damage.

    I stared in unamusement.

    What the **** happened to this thread? It started with Major Willy not being a Mod, proceeded onto Orbital Drop Weaponry, and now **** jokes? I think I'm in love.
