Detailed specifications fror such a weapon, including links to websites with information. Apologies for specs and links both being in the language of the Lost Tribe of Hamara, which has been untranslatable for hundreds of years.

Arrival of a time-traveler from the 29th century, bringing a translated version of the specs, including a red circle around the thingamajobber, which was always thought to be a ceramic alloy but does in fact contain unobtainium, which is metal and quite meltable.

Grandiloquent speech regarding need for such knowledge not to be discovered. Lengthy explanation of following requirement for time-traveller to never willen-mayan-on-happen-be-to existed. Proustian description of deletion of said person. Erasure of memory of above poster(s).
Exhortation to be surrounded by fat men with sleek heads who sleep o' nights. Explanation regarding lean and hungry appearance of yond Cassius. Extrapolation that said person thinks too much. Further addendum regarding such men as dangerous.

Request for fewer ten-dollar words.

Query regarding an apparent bias against ten-dollar (5£?) verbiage.

Boring expository explanation yielding what appears to be actual facts but is really a terse command to look it up yourself.
 Authorial chuckle followed by a shrug. Boring expository explanation about the term being related to an old child's game that turns words into dollar values (the letter "a" is worth a cent, "b" is two cents, etc. and that the value of the word is merely the sum of the values of the letters). A further lecture about how "ten-dollar word" merely means a LONG word.

Query as to possibility of any word in the english language or otherwise actually adding up to ten dollars based upon the previous poster's stated values.
Suggestion someone not as lazy as myself examine 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.
