Talk:NBC (weapon)

Would anyone object if I moved this to NBC warfare? —Michael Z. 2005-11-24 16:11 Z 
 * 1) Includes both NBC weapons and NBC defence.
 * 2) Obviates Wikipedia-specific disambiguation in parentheses.
 * 3) Can be used as a direct link without piped disambiguation.

I would! NBC is a term that could be used in health and safety for example in a facility which handles these materials legally. The term is not bound to use in warfare and cleanup after terrorist or acts of war. See NBC suit. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fegor (talk • contribs).


 * Good point, but even with that in mind, NBC warfare would still be at least as good a title as NBC (weapon). Do you have a better suggestion?  NBC hazard, NBC threat?


 * Actually, according to the naming convention, this should probably be moved to nuclear, biological, chemical, or some variation. —Michael Z. 2006-02-20 03:15 Z 

Clean up
I'm removing the following, because it is redundant and contains some unverifiable or vague statements ("was deemed fit"?).


 * The acronym ABC was deemed fit when large numbers of troops and civilians were to be educated about these new weapons, and how to protect against them, in the mid-twentieth century. The term was found to be less advantageous after the post-1968 radicalization, when the word atomic seemingly was considered negatively charged after forceful left-wing campaigns against atomic power and the atom bomb.


 * NBC weapons represents the nontraditional weapons of the twentieth century and are designed to kill large numbers of people, chiefly civilians but potentially also unprotected military personnel. The threat of NBC attacks forces military troops to use protection limiting their battle endurance.
 * * Atomic weapons (including radiological weapons)
 * * Biological weapons
 * * Chemical weapons


 * For more information see weapons of mass destruction

Further development
Hm. The problem is that this article is written about a term, not a thing. It should be replaced with a summary article about nuclear, biological and chemical warfare, covering equipment, defence, and decontamination. —Michael Z. 2006-07-25 16:31 Z 


 * Since there's almost no information here, I've merged this article into the much more informative WMD. —Michael Z. 2006-10-07 21:48 Z
