Retro

Source book: Bullets & Bandages

Retro is a catchall term that refers to a crudely synthesized mixture of antiquated neurotoxic agents like cyclo- sarin, phosgene, or VX. While these aren’t as sophisticated or effective as newer agents, they are cheap and relatively easy to produce. This has lead to a resurgence in their use among various low-budget militaries, insurgents, and even some violent gangs. If unresisted, retro causes paralysis, spine-wrenching convulsions, and ultimately death by asphyxiation.
