Rusty
Purveyor of Fine Weaponry
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Some would say that the Nuclear Guillotine is a cheap attempt to cash in on reputation to fulfill the qualifications of a dare. Rusty would absolutely agree, but that's not the point.
The basic premise is simple. A sharpened, weighted blade is suspended above the neck of the condemned. Upon the release of the sere, the blade is dropped, and the neck is severed by a ten kilogram razor blade propelled by gravity. Only this time, instead of gravity, the blade is propelled by a nuke. Will the wooden frame and simple steel blade survive a nuclear detonation? Probably not. But then again, neither will the condemned, in all likelihood. Nuclear blasts tend not to discriminate with that sort of thing. On the off chance that it does survive, the blade will be propelled downwards at several thousand kilometers a second, passing cleanly through the neck and much of the donor planet's crust before lodging itself firmly in the mantle. The audience likely won't survive if they were expecting a close up view, but sacrifices must be made for the sake of democracy and freedom.
It has been observed that a strange species of aloe plant grows on the side of the guillotine. No one really knows why, but it's fairly effective at both soothing mild burns and causing cancer.

- It's a guillotine
- With a nuke strapped to it
- Execution: If you absolutely, positively need to decapitate your former despotic overlord, accept no substitutes. The Nuclear Guillotine is almost guaranteed to succeed.
- Single Use- It's unlikely that the guillotine itself will actually survive the process. But, you know, nuke.
