War Peppers

India’s military is using a new type of weapon. Not a bomb, not explosives, but a simple vegetable: the pepper. Not just any pepper though, the “bhut jolokia”, the hottest pepper in the history of anything. The pepper is so strong it can paralyze a target, and can be used as tear gas. The pepper is extremely similar to a grenade, you can burn it, and anyone that breathes the smokes lungs, mouth, flesh and anything else that comes into contact will burn, you can squirt the juice into the victim, burning them and having a chance of putting them into shock and paralyzing them. This pepper is extremely hot. Scoville units, the unit used to measure spice are used for this as well. Tabasco sauce, one of the hottest sauces known to man, something that burns and makes you cry just with a drop. Tabasco has 2,500-5,000 Scoville units. The bhut jolokia has 1,000,000 Scoville units. 1,000,000. That’s about 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The pepper can be used just like any other gas or poison, if targets are holed into a cave or building, throw a burning one of these and that’s it. This pepper might even change the strategy of breaching a building altogether.
