Yeah I saw the 4 inch needle straw mentioned and it’s a damn shame they readiscovered it. Would have been better just not knowing it existed and let it do its damn thing and we can all just blissfully move on knowing there aren’t 17inch long vampires in the world.
Armoured trains wouldn’t be very effective nowadays. Thermite capable of cutting through railway rail isn’t that hard to make, and a lot of people know that trains are easily derailed if staggered sections of rail are missing.
Air strikes on civilians would probably damage too much of the owners property, can’t have that.
The machine guns tho, they could do that. Bonus points if a machine gunner or two gets taken out too, that way it doesn’t seem like it was an overt massacre.
