I'm not that surprised. Radiation poisoning is a special kind of torture for EVERYONE. Shit would immediately invalidate any goodwill or sympathy for whomever uses them.

It also wouldn't be much more lethal than a bomb of equivalent mass. If you're close enough to get a lethal dose of polonium or w/e, you're probably also getting a lethal dose of shrapnel.
