    I thought this would be about metal eating bacteria bombs. How else with those damn foreigners fight when their weapons are only the wooden parts of an AK-47?

    There was an old RPG called Blue Planet in which all building material had been replaced with "bioplastic" which was a cultured bacteria that was poured into a mould, grew a spore of plastic then died. It was a pretty great idea and all things considered, I think that's where we're headed.

    @crashedpc : ゴキブリ and 蟑螂 division: What you need is a tin foil hat. As soon as you hear the crunch crunch, stick your head in a microwave and blast the creatures into oblivion. Wait, you don't care much about your head, do you?

    @corpore-metal: There will be bacteria that will eat those and shit out peanut butter to combat those models. And besides, aren't there already plastic eating bacteria?
