The Pentagon has a new secret weapon in the war against weapons of mass destruction. They’re called “kinetic fireball incendiaries.” They’re designed to neutralize sites containing chemical or biological weapons. These devices are best described as empty balls of rubberized rocket fuel that when ignited, they power themselves around at high speed, bouncing randomly off the walls of a structure, eventually breaking through doors, turning the entire building into an inferno.
