It puts those huge telephoto lenses used by some photographers in a new light. And the misidentification of such lenses as rocket launchers.
Tank commander, operating head-out, and a sniper with Basilisk gun. What sort of radiation dose do the turret crew get?
Looming CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN: is independent production of Basilisk Gun devices easier?
If the single lens method does work (and if may have to for some existing-story events to work), you might have a new sort of terrorism. Which leads to much stricter control of press photographers.
Cultist paparazzi assassins?

" We hadn't intended to offer this title for preorder yet, but have received so many requests it seemed crazy not to. Equoid, our first Stross offering since the time travel novella Palimpsest is a long (32,000 words) tale set in his popular Laundry series.
For Bob Howard, a working day tends to alternate between desperately trying not to fall asleep in committee meetings and being menaced by tentacular horrors from beyond spacetime. That’s because Bob works for the Laundry, the secret British government agency tasked with protecting the realm from occult nightmares. So when his manager Iris sends him off to the countryside to liaise with a veterinary inspector from the Department of the Environment, Fisheries, and rural Affairs, at first he takes it as a pleasant vacation. But why is Edgebaston Farm’s livery stable buying a hundred kilos of raw meat per day? Why does his briefing file contain the death-bed confession of that old fraud, H. P. Lovecraft? And why is his contact from DEFRA so deathly afraid of unicorns…?
Limited: 350 signed numbered copies, bound in leather: $60 "
So .. bound in " Leather "is just 'Bound ' to be of a "Rule 34" ish nature whilst ..well, who knows what provided the " Leather " ?
]]>I think the Laundry files should contain several deathbed confessions from H.P. Lovecraft, all different in text and with different dates, several of them well after March 15th 1937.
"That only raises more questions!"
