VLVL(6) - 194.1 Cobra gunships; 196.6 DMT; 203.7 CZ gas

[Doug Millison]

>194.1  Cobra gunships

At U.S. Army boot camp in 1972, Cobra gunships were spoken of in tones of
awe:  "Cover a football field with fire in seconds." They could be
outfitted with double belt-fed grenade launchers and pump out grenades at a
speed approaching the way an M-16 could empty a clip in the time it takes
to pull the trigger.

>196.6  DMT - [hallucinogenic drug] abbreviation of DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE,
>powerful, naturally occurring hallucinogenic compound structurally related
>to the drug LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide).

Widely-reported (enough so it's considered a standard aspect of the DMT
trip), typical DMT hallucination includes the appearance of "little people"
variously identified as leprechauns, aliens, etc. This was the famous
"businessman's trip", described as such because of its fast-acting and
relatively short-lived (an hour or less) effects.

203.7  CZ gas - anything like VX?

CZ is a kind of tear gas. In boot camp, we had the opportunity to be shut
into a room and learn to put on a gas mask as quickly as possible after a
cannister of the stuff was exploded -- the gas attacks the mucous membranes
of the nose and throat, the eyes, and exposed skin. Nasty.
