Damn...Crazy.

Here was a test of a "smaller" version.

[Terrel]

approximately how many people do you think that would effect. by effect i mean how many would die do you think?

Millions... The population of London alone (according to wiki) is about 8 million. The radius to Cambridge from London alone, covers 63 miles. That just going upwards in the areas that would get effected. It would be catastrophic.

[Left Hook Tua]

Thats crazy...

Imagine how destructive the nuclear bombs are now compared to that.... scary

1 trident missile can carry up to 12 warheads each.

1 warhead can be as powerful as 475 kiloton yield.

the hiroshima bomb only had a 16 kiloton yield.

1 american ohio class submarine carries 24 trident missiles. the british vanguard class 16.

assuming a max load of 12 warheads, no failures and no misses.

1 u.s. submarine is capable of destroying 288 cities.

its british counterpart 192.

Then England must invade Russia first to prevent this. But damn it, dont wear those bright red coats again, too easy to spot.

"smaller" version could still give 3rd degree burns to someone 62 miles away.

Full power would be total annihilation.

The Nanking Massacre or Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, was a mass murder and war rape that occurred during the six-week period following the Japanese capture of the city of Nanking (Nanjing), the former capital of the Republic of China, on December 13, 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. During this period, hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed soldiers were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.[1][2] Widespread rape and looting also occurred.[3][4] Historians and witnesses have estimated that 250,000 to 300,000 people were killed.[5] Several of the key perpetrators of the atrocities, at the time labelled as war crimes, were later tried and found guilty at the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal, and were subsequently executed. Another key perpetrator, Prince Asaka, a member of the Imperial Family, escaped prosecution by having earlier been granted immunity by the Allies.


On December 13, about 30 soldiers came to a Chinese house at #5 Hsing Lu Koo in the southeastern part of Nanking, and demanded entrance. The door was open by the landlord, a Mohammedan named Ha. They killed him immediately with a revolver and also Mrs. Ha, who knelt before them after Ha's death, begging them not to kill anyone else. Mrs. Ha asked them why they killed her husband and they shot her. Mrs. Hsia was dragged out from under a table in the guest hall where she had tried to hide with her 1 year old baby. After being stripped and raped by one or more men, she was bayoneted in the chest, and then had a bottle thrust into her vagina. The baby was killed with a bayonet. Some soldiers then went to the next room, where Mrs. Hsia's parents, aged 76 and 74, and her two daughters aged 16 and 14. They were about to rape the girls when the grandmother tried to protect them. The soldiers killed her with a revolver. The grandfather grasped the body of his wife and was killed. The two girls were then stripped, the elder being raped by 2–3 men, and the younger by 3. The older girl was stabbed afterwards and a cane was rammed in her vagina. The younger girl was bayoneted also but was spared the horrible treatment that had been meted out to her sister and mother. The soldiers then bayoneted another sister of between 7–8, who was also in the room. The last murders in the house were of Ha's two children, aged 4 and 2 respectively. The older was bayoneted and the younger split down through the head with a sword.
