From your trusty flamethrower to all-in fighter jets, we countdown the 10 Most Dangerous Weapons
In The World.
#10: AK-47 - Kicking off our list, we have an old gun-nut fan favorite across the globe—straight
out of Counter Strike, Metal Gear, and many other game franchises. Now, the AK-47 is not
a bomb or gunship. What it is known for, however, is its ability to be made cheaply and the
fact that it has been smeared around every conflict since World War II. The Soviets first
brought the AK-47 to prominence because of how fast they could put them in hands, the
little training they required, and how reliable they were. Now they’re everywhere, even
in the hands of ISIS.
#9: Machine Gun -Someone looked at an automatic rifle and said, ‘no, we need it to be bigger’.
The machine gun is a robust beast, and recent models can fire over 104,000 bullets in one
sitting before the barrel goes kaput. Now, we don’t know who you’re fighting, but
in case you ever need to fire that many in a row, this is the pup for you. Also, this
thing is pretty heavy, so, you may want to start working out if you ever have hopes of
holding one in person.
#8: Heavy Machine Gun - I guess we spoke too soon. Remember when we got all up in arms
over the machine gun? Well, this is its big brother. This bad boy is powerful enough to
shoot down watercrafts, road vehicles, helicopters and other aerial vehicles. It also can chug
out over 250 rounds per minute. We’d stay at a safe distance—as in, as far away as
possible. What’s crazy to think about is all those guns in all those games like Halo—have
to be modeled after something.
#7: DSR-50 Sniper Rifle - The black market goes wild for these. The DSR-50 Sniper Rifle
provides incredibly precise accuracy. Add to that the fact that it has literally no
recoil and it’s notorious for being lightweight, and you have a sniper rifle that can fetch
up to $25,000. What’s super cool about the DSR-50 is that it has what’s called a ‘blast
compensator’, which sounds wicked awesome. Unfortunately, its function serves the complete
opposite, and instead of compensating for a blast, its job is to smother any sound at
all.
#6: Napalm Bomb - If the Vietnam War had a movie poster, the Napalm Bomb would take top
billing. Used to create fire and heat explosions that reached 1,200 degrees instantly, these
explosive nuggets peppered Vietnam. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, magnesium and
lead were added to make sure those burns were both poisonous and exacerbated by water. This
is pretty much where we’ll stop with the ‘bombs’ on this list. Obviously there
are bombs out there that are incredibly dangerous weapons, but that wouldn’t be much of a
surprise, and the graphics we’d have to use would be, a little disturbing
#5: Flamethrower -While this list may feel like you’re cycling through an arsenal of
Call of Duty, Doom or even Goldeneye level weaponry—it kind of is. Flamethrower technology
was first used with oil by the Greeks, and was quite dangerous—carrying around flammable
liquid on your back while creating trumpets of fire can be, well, deadly. The key to using
a flamethrower is not getting yourself surrounded by your enemies, because spraying fire all
around you in a circle will just trap you—engulfed in flames.
#4: F2000 Assault Rifle - The F2000 was premiered in 2001—and can pump out 850 rounds a minute
over a 500m range. That’s over 14 rounds per second. And hey, if you empty all 850
round and still have enemies around you, the F2000 comes fully equipped with an attached
grenade launcher. Who in the world are these made for? If you think about it, guns keep
getting bigger, and bigger. What kind of hybrid vehicle/aerial assault situation made someone
say to themselves, ‘Hm. This Assault Rifle is really cool, but if it were grenade launcher,
too, that would be even better’?
#3: Taranis - Now we’re getting into science fiction-level weaponry. The Taranis cost 336
million dollars to make and it hasn’t even had a field test yet. The purpose for this
chunk of metal was to fly so fast that it couldn’t be detected by modern radar—and
then drop some serious bombs.
#2: F-22 Raptor Fighter Jet - Beating out the F-15 and F-16 is the F-22 Raptor. The
Raptor is the fifth generation of supersonic fighter jets. Not only is it a state of the
art attack machine, but it dabbles in electronic warfare, and can even help transport when
necessary. Soon it will be able to deploy its own drones. Talk about a serious war machine.
#1: Nuclear Warhead - If you’re making lists about dangerous weapons, there can be only
one to rule them all—or ruin them all; or pretty much just do whatever with them all
because this is still the most dangerous thing on our planet. The nuclear warhead is the
pop star of the weapon industry. It has a huge impact, obliterates any semblance of
intelligent life, and has the potential to destroy us all. All kidding aside, the most
famous use of any nuclear weapons were the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the
US during WWII—resulting in the deaths of over 200,000 civilians. Could you imagine
seeing that mushroom cloud with your naked eyes? Nuclear weapons continue to be a hotbed
in global politics. Let’s hope they get banned forever.
