Anyone got any other ideas?
Just read all the what if? articles in sequence. That should give you more ideas than you'll ever need.

F = ma

I'll assume a typo :P

Virtually every conventional method of murder involves unhealthy doses of acceleration. For example, shooting people relies on accelerating a metal slug with the force of a chemical reaction, so that when the projectile strikes the target it accelerates components of their fleshy bits unequally, causing them to mush together like overcooked rice.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Get a pointy piece of metal with a handle, and use your arm to accelerate it towards a person. Make sure you do it in the direction of the point. Rinse, repeat.
Well, depending on the amount of acceleration applied, it might do damage with either end. And if you do it VERY wrong, you can even hurt two people for the price of one!

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Acceleration is what kills people after they fall. Really.

Why are you asking how to turn it into a killing weapon when it already acts as one?

When you shoot a person, you are maiming or killing them by having a piece of metal suddenly accelerate their vital parts.

Stab a person, you are maiming or killing them by accelerating their vital parts.

...basically all weapons use acceleration in destructive ways.

A better question would be: 'how to do anything destructive without applying acceleration?'

Build a Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing truck, then set it in reverse. Accelerate to about 12.3 Undecillion miles per hour, then hit a pseron. This would cause, and I'll quote:

it would be like every atom in your body being shot with an individual supermassive black hole cannon fourteen thousand times over

...No, it's quite a bit more than that. plug 12.3 undecillion into this here momentum equation.
