Things That Blow Up Real Good: Geeberite Boom Discs
Until the Solar Alliance scoutship James T. Kirk landed on the planet Geeber 2, the native sentient race had fought their wars with fairly conventional early gunpowder era weapons. But after the Kirk left, they found something a couple of crew members had lost: a frisbee.
At first, the Geebers just had fun throwing it around, but the warlike race soon started thinking that the flying disc might have other applications. They carved a few dozen out of light wood and began to experiment with them. At first, they tried attaching blades, but that threw off the balance. Then they tried lighting them on fire, but throwing a flaming disc is hard anyway, but even harder when your body is covered in long silky hair.
Finally, the noted war scientist OoomOmmOmoo found a way to attach a disc of boom powder to the frisbee and make sure it would explode 20 seconds after having the fuse lit. Additionally, he invented a throwing device that could propel the disc much farther than anyone could by muscle power alone. When they exploded, the blast would send out burning pieces of wood that could easily ignite hair or boom powder.
In short order, the “Boom Discs” were tested during a raid upon the GaaDooBaLa clan. They caused much death and destruction and were declared a success. Later, the discs were made slightly larger and fitted to blast out iron shrapnel or chunks of white hot EeeEee rock, making them much more deadly.
Of course, other clans got the secret and soon the air above any battle was filled with flying discs of death. Eventually, after 50 years or so, some brainy Geeber figured out how to make rifles and pistols that fired razor sharp mini discs. Alliance observers have bets going as to when they’ll figure out how to make a disc delivery system for an atomic device.
