RE: Wire Obstacles

Having never worked with monofilament.......

Would it be invisible?
Would an explosion damage it as much as normal wire?  If its one
molecule thick would it even catch the shock wave?

I just had a horrific vision of a soldier on point suddenly falling to
the ground in several chunks.

	Da, is sick.

	I think monomolecular wire would be treated same as other wire,
but 
	1)Infantry can't breach it at all (You can't body breach it, and
wire
