Explosive belt/Suicid bomber vest

[Wayze 549]

I recently thought about a way how to manipulate a whole armend group with just one person. And I got the idea of an explosive belt, which a person could use to do whatever he wants. I am not just talking about the people who run into groups and shout "Allah akbar!" and kill themselves to wipe out a whole group. I am talking about the bank robbery type. The guy that has an active detonator in his hand which explodes if he stops holding it. That means if someone shoots him, the bomb explodes, kind of a life insurance.

One man who gets near a group is capable of holding them off because if they shoot him, all of them will simply die. If someone runs, all of them will die. If someone does anything the carrier doesn't like, all of them will die.

 

It would require the belt to be very hard to craft. The ingredients should be rare as hell, so not everyone runs around with those things.

 

You would need a vest (doesn't really matter which one), explosives (improvised or not, doesn't matter, but effects the efficiency of the belt), duct-tape, something you can use as a detonator and maybe a clock, a transmitter or a special detonator (you would have to craft his one too), to do exactly what I described. There would be belts which detonate on signal, others that detonate on time and the hardest to craft that detonates if you release the detonater. (for example if you get shot) Ofcourse you could carry a one handed weapon in your right hand, while having the detonator in the left hand. You may hide the vest under a jacket and in some situations (if you have just a detonator but no explosive belt) you could fake it and say "I got a bomb under this vest!". (not sure about this part though, there has to be some indication that reveales the bomb).

And, of course, if you shoot the belt, it explodes.

 

You could take such a vest and force a hostage (handcuffed person) to wear it and to do exactly what you say or otherwise the bomb goes off. You can imagine what scenarios could occur, but to prevent from trolling I have to underline how important it is to make it really hard to craft such a thing. Not everyone should run around with a suicid vest.

 

 

What's your opinion guys?

(hope this suggestion wasn't made before)

This is funny, my group was talking about the merits of such device. A despite lone player could carry a suicide vest to deter hold ups or a group of survivors could send in one person in an entrenched position for a kamikaze attack.

I'm pretty sure you could make a dead man switch (switch that turns on when it is let go) out of some wire, tape and a clothes peg.
