The problem is even further compounded when you recognise that in order to even transport matter you need a HUGE magnetic field. There is no material that can store antimatter meaning it would also have to be put into a vacuum

Nuke's are relatively simple in comparison.

Containing it is hard as hell, but setting of of is as easy as turning off the power.

[Heron TSG]

There could be a gun that first shoots something that creates a vacuum bubble behind it before shooting out a sphere of magnets that contains a small globe of antimatter. When the device that creates the vacuum hits something, it sticks. When the magnet sphere crashes into the first projectile, the globe of antimatter hits the shell of magnets due to its inherent inertia, causing it to annihilate the first part of the projectile. Not only do you have a big (radiation) explosion, the ammunition destroys itself to promote a healthy environment. Nobody needs to pick up shell casings for antimatter rounds.

That sphere would be huge.

So that gun would be more like a cannon... A huge one!

Or you could drop the containment chamber, and turn the power off when its right over there heads.

The giant self-contained magnetic chamber that uses an excessive amount of power?

What are you lifting it with? A flying Nuclear power plant?

You don't need to lift it, obviously something this heavy should float in space instead.

Its called a particle trap and antimatter is currently the most expensive material in the entire world. It is literally cheaper to build a B-2 bomber and gold plate it and then bomb the planet until it glows purple than build antimatter weapons to do the same thing. Expect no antimatter weapons until we have a far more efficient way to make it.

You probably could stud the Golden B-2 Bomber in diamonds too AND give each person working on this project their own Gold plated B-2 Bomber for cheaper.

Not if its gold we transmutate from lead in a partical accellerator.

Yeah in that case we can only give half of them their gold plated planes.

Can you actually put a price on an object that exists for a tenth of a second?  I mean, it's not "priceless" like love or some shit because it is actually a thing, but it doesn't stay around long.

[Derekristow]

Then it's not priceless, it's valueless.  No one would pay money for something that would be gone before the transaction ended.

You can put a price on the devices and processes required to make it.
