Originally posted by kato View PostSorry, but as someone who served in a NBC unit: It stands for biological. Biological weapons do not need to be bacteriological - a lot consist of virii or endospores (e.g. Anthrax). Biological toxins (e.g. Ricin) are considered under both B and C btw.Last edited by tankie; 29 May 11,, 09:42.

I always understood it as biological. That's what we learned in NBC class during basic training.
I basicly only worried about the C part of those three. Biological is quite hard to disperse and nuclear wasn't really gonna happen any time soon.
But then you read about the effects of blister agents, nerve gas and asphyxiants... suddenly that gasmask looks like a very good friend."Football is war."
