I can't read every single thread. What does VX stand for? Is it a nerve agent or a blister agent?

It's the most potent of the (publicly acknowledged) nerve agents. IIRC, it was developed in the late 40's early 50's and is a further development of Tabun and Sarin. VX doesn't stand for anything AFAIK.

The only chemical agent symbol that had an actual reference were the other nerve agents, Taubun Sarin and Soman. These were called G Agents since they were developed in Germany. The V designation was was used to differentiate that it was developed independently. The only other V agent in use was VR-55, an agent developed by the Soviets.
