I want to see this thing weaponized in less than ten years.

lol. I can see a giant glob of that swallowing an T-72 tank!

technically it isn't actually magnetic, but paramagnetic.
It can be affected by a magnetic field given of by a magnet, but it cannot be caused to give off a magnetic field, except for conducting that of an actual magnet.

So you would need to find a way to magnetise the body of the T-72 in order to make the putty be attracted to it.

Umm im buying some.

@Gollath: Well that's disappointing. I'm assuming the putty is filled with little pieces of metal, or metal dust. What if this stuff was magnetized before being mixed with the putty?

I want to get some
