Is this fictional weapon salvagable, so that it can pass WP:NFICTION or another GNG related policy? There is a section about some recent experimental US weapon but the connection to this is rather WP:OR ish... but since weapons are 'cool', maybe this could be rewritten to be about that new gadget with a section about inspiration from this fictional concept? But I don't see very good sources to help... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:12, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
