The look on your face when your partner asks for all 3 at the same time.

The best thing Michael Bay was ever involved with.

The real nerve agent isn't as crazy as the movie, but still horrible. They also don't keep it in this payload configuration, but probably more visually appealing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX_(nerve_agent)

Didn't one of the mission impossible movies steal this design for some virus the villain was going to release and extort the world governments for the antidote?

Nice job

Having literally just watched that last night, I'd say that was movie-accurate. Well done! Did you include the guidance chip?
CappucinoDrunkard
I did, you can sort of see it in the middle, it's shorter than it should be though. The chip is from a broken electric toothbrush.

Bonus points for the eWaste-MacGyvering!

A really elegant string-of-pearls configuration. Unfortunately highly unstable.

I always wondered why they couldn't just use a normal gas cylinder. Would be much safer
zimirken
If it was made in multiple small batches and sealed in round glass ampuoles it would kinda make sense
an0therthr0waway
multiple pieces to break ensures better coverage. that mofo was designed for maximum splash damage.
Seras91
Because the movies depiction with VX has not too much todo with the reality. And no its not green either
Conz
you could turn that into an interesting lamp too
CappucinoDrunkard
Thought about that, like an LED at the top pointed down, I might still do it
ghostdrawn
A black light LED at the top and bottom would really make that glow.
IslaNublar
As someone who likes using blacklights to make decorative items glow, LEDs at the top/bottom wouldn't be as effective as it could otherwise be. UV doesn't throw very far through materials. The best solution would be individual COB strips of UV LEDs (they lay very flat, usually have an adhesive backing, and are almost entirely evenly lit rather than having visible "hot spots" like normal LED strips. At least three of those, even spaced out and down the length of the struts, would make it glow BIG
CappucinoDrunkard
That's a really good idea, maybe I'll try that this weekend
IslaNublar
If you do please post pics! I'd love to see it glowing.
