Stingers seem to be the deciding element for the Soviets in their
   withdrawal from Afghanistan.
   Wasn't it Isaac Asimov that used gene-targeted assassination as the
   major plot element in one of his stories?

     Biological weapons are arguably the only option with enough force
     asymmetry. But then, victory would be rather hollow ;) Unless, I
     suppose, one could target particular shared sets of genetic alleles
     (loosely, "races"). But then, governments are certainly doing just
     that,
     with far more resources.
