This article is about an older version of DF.

Implementation of bridges appears to have changed significantly since earlier versions -- Dwarven atom smashers are now functional only in a small subset of their previous roles.

A DAS still works fine as a trash compactor to smash boulders, items, and fluids straight into oblivion.

The performance of a DAS on creatures is a bit of a draw bag. It's well known that special creatures with a certain size will make it impossible to raise a drawbridge they are standing on as well as cause a drawbridge to immediately deconstruct if lowered upon the creature; however, it also appears to be true that groups of lesser creatures which are individually subject to atomizing death may be similarly immune to the DAS when in sizeable groups.
