It is unlikely Elasian sidearms were atomic bombs, but instead directed energy weapons based upon nuclear reactions.
- There's no good reason to question this. They were explicitly described as nuclear weapons, miniaturized and portable nuclear weapons have received serious consideration in reality (they're also not uncommon in scifi), and the note does not make a convincing argument why it should be unlikely.
