A wappen o mass destruction is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological or other wappen that can kill and bring significant harm to a muckle number of humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g. biggins), natural structures (e.g., mountains), or the biosphere. The scope and usage o the term has evolved and been disputed, often signifying more politically than technically.
