Veteran Comments
Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
The statistics don't show it but the BVas actually does marginally more damage a minute than the BGreen; it is a highly effective weapon.
Calculations point out that this weapon has a yield equivalent to approximately 34.6 GT (Gigatons of TNT) per pulse.
