[edit] Weapon or Agent

The title Chemical Weapons Designation is incorrect. Military symbols apply to the CB agent fill, and not the entire weapon itself. A weapon designation would be something more like "Aero-14/B", which could be filled with GB, VX, TGB, or with a biological modification kit - OU, NU, UL, etc. It is a popular misconception that agents = weapons. A CB weapon is an integrated devise of agent, dissemination means, and delivery system.
