I wouldn't mind knowing about this either. I loved the visual
representation
of the mini nuke in the Starship Troopers (film) when they take out the
plasma
artillery bugs.
I get the impression from their use that they are as powerful as a full
sized nuke
but limited blast radius!
Utterly ludicrus or science possibility?
