Ironically, after the smash with the Crobar, it probably STILL works.
Those things are freakin tanks. You could kick, splash, throw, drop kick, and incinerate those things, and they'll still work. Granted, I wouldnt mess too much with those, I have a feeling that they leak radiation...
I remember, back in the day. When those took 4 Double A Batteries, and if you played it for too long, you'd have a copious ammount of battery acid on your hand. The burning never felt so good.
Like everyone else... WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT? but then again, it can probably handle it.
