Chemical and Biological ●Both Chemical and Biological weapons can easily kill thousands of people ●These weapons are mainly used in wars ●Millions of people have died from each of these weapons

Chemical Weapons ●Chemical weaponry consists of toxic chemicals ●Munitions and devices, specifically designed to cause death or other harm through the toxic properties of those toxic chemicals ●Equipment specifically used to kill large amounts of people at a time

●Chemical and Biological weapons are really effective for how expensive they are ●In wars they used some chemical weapons to destroy the vegetation so people could not hide Pros

Pros continued ●Biological weapons are easy to spread over a large amount of people since they can travel through water sources ●They could be used to create and spread a plague throughout opposing armies, and spread said plague to the rest of the country

Cons ●A bad group of people such as terrorists can easily get this weapon and kill thousands of people ●America has used these weapons in war, but it has also been used on them ●It has killed millions of Americans ●One of the biggest disadvantages is that it is unpredictable

Cons continued ●Say a car drives through a city and somebody has been infected by Chemical and Biological Weapons, then it could infect everyone in the city ●The diseases can be sent as easy as mail ●Unlike a gun, you slowly die. It is a horrible way to die, and can cause more harm than intended
