The World's Spookiest Weapons

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the criminally-insane-working-for-the-government dept.

DesScorp writes "Popular Science has a piece on some outrageous ideas for weapons; some came to fruition, and others didn't. And while some of the weapons (atom bombs, chemical weapons, bats with bombs strapped to them that seek out homes and buildings at night) are truly frightening, some of them are also kind of silly, such as the Gay Bomb, and the Frisbee bomb that was labeled the 'Modular Disc-Wing Urban Cruise Munition.'"

    Totally agree. What a bunch of useless asswipes.

    Stop worrying about the weapons and arm yourself.

    Crazy people are the ones who are dangerous.

    North America? How about people in the east wanting to kill all infidels? There's probably more than 5b people considered infidels by those folks, and they are screaming for it to be done, not just uncaring.

    It's sad that the AC is either not from the US just trying to bag on us, or is from the US and entirely ignorant about the current state of affairs across this planet. Just about everyone not part of the west wants to take it down.

    In reality, folks should really be happy we aren't as bad as people say we are. I mean, we are called every name in the book, have the most powerful military, most bombs, and a lot of capital to drive a 'real' war; not the policing of two third world countries-- really, women spend more on makeup every year than we spend on holding together those puppets. It's just exciting news because our public won't commit because we know it's a shit mission.

    Wait until some big shit comes down the pipe and the world will sing a different tune, either "OH COME SAVE US!" or "OMG WTF OUR CITIES ARE GONE!" depending on where you happen to be living.

    Anywhere in the so called "Anglo-Saxon sphere of influence" will do. Rest of the world will not give a f***. Germans, french, etc all walk around wearing only a hat on holidays so I do not quite see them giving a damn about a few more nudes here or there.
