The destructive power of modern weapons is so great that an atomic bomb, for example, can destroy a city in an instant. The following ten weapons are chilling in their lethality and may remind the world not to raise swords indiscriminately, or else the consequences will be unimaginable.
AA-12 automatic shotgun (Auto Assault-12)
It is the first fully automatic combat shotgun developed by American gun designer Maxwell Acheson in 1972. After no less than two hundred times of improvement during these decades, it can change the firepower by changing the magazine of 8 rounds or the drum of 20 to 32 rounds, and it can shoot 300 rounds per minute.
Flares
The flowering bullet is also called “into the body deformation bullet”, commonly known as “dum-dum” or “bomb”, is a kind of expansion bullet that does not have penetrating power but has a very high shallow killing power, killing power It is a non-penetrating, but highly superficial, expansive bullet with a very high lethality. Because the shape or material of the “bomb” is specially designed, the small warhead leaves a small wound on the surface of the body, but the deeper soft tissues of the body have been blown to pieces. Once shot, non-dead also seriously injured.
As early as 1899, the Hague Convention issued the Declaration on the Prohibition of the Use of Injured and Deformed Firearms, but the Chinese Communist army used dum-dum bullets to shoot unarmed students and people in the June 4 massacre in 1989.
Nerve Gas VX
This is a chemical weapon that has been listed as a weapon of mass destruction banned by the United Nations since 1997. Nerve gas, as the name implies, can harm people’s nerves and can cause poisoning by inhaling 25-30 mg. The principle is that it destroys the function of innervated muscles within minutes, causing breathing difficulties or suffocation, blurred vision, profuse sweating, cardiac arrhythmia, paralysis and even death.
Hydrogen bomb
The hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon more powerful than the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The principle is to use atomic bombs produced by nuclear fission to detonate and generate nuclear fusion, which explodes with greater energy and destructive power.
In 1954, the U.S. Navy tested a 15 million TNT equivalent hydrogen bomb on Bikini Reef Island in the Pacific Ocean. The explosion instantly created a fireball several kilometers hotter than the sun, and naval officers and men 45 kilometers away from the explosion site felt a wave of heat hit their faces, after which their entire bodies were strongly shaken.
Metal storm gun
Australian Orville invented the electronic ignition weapon, can shoot 16,000 rounds of special bullets in one second. The general gun for mechanical firing, the fastest 6,000 rounds per minute. Metal storm gun is a super high-speed weapons, its firepower is incomparable, but the disadvantage is the need for special magazines and bullets, and the cost is very high, the gun itself is extremely heavy, basically not free to carry, loading and unloading is also very troublesome, so it is still in the concept stage.
Plague bomb
This is a biological weapon that is used to create a plague to kill the enemy. During the war against China, Japanese Unit 731 reportedly developed and tested biochemical weapons in Heilongjiang, northeast China, and air-dropped rats and fleas carrying specific plague toxins into Xinjiang and Hunan areas between 1940 and 1942, while causing many people in the affected areas to get the plague within hours and days.
Laser weapons
Light is the thing we are most familiar with. Its energy seems so small that it is almost impossible to weaponize. But in 2014, the U.S. Navy amphibious landing ship USS Ponce completed a laser weapon test, successfully using a far-infrared laser cannon to destroy small drones and targets on small boats from hundreds of meters away. Of course, the laser gun used in the test was 30,000 watts of energy, not enough to be used in combat, but the U.S. military has been tested on aircraft and combat vehicles, and I believe it will soon be equipped with the military.
Neutron bomb
Neutron bomb is a kind of high energy neutron radiation as the main lethal force of low quality tactical hydrogen bomb, bringing long-term radioactive pollution is low, belong to the unrealistic science fiction weapons.
The principle of this weapon relies on the detonation of a miniature atomic bomb to release a large number of neutron beams; the penetration ability of neutrons is extremely strong, and a large number of neutron beams entering the human body can destroy human cell tissues and the central nervous system, causing lethality.
Electromagnetic Rail Gun
This is a kind of unconventional cannon being developed by the U.S. military, with low cost and high firepower, and therefore has good application prospects. Conventional artillery uses the chemical principle, using the explosion of gunpowder to hit the shell. Electromagnetic artillery, on the other hand, uses electromagnetic energy to fire shells that can be ready for loading in less than two minutes and fire hypersonic warheads in less than a second. The $25,000 cost of an electromagnetic rail gun is very inexpensive compared to missiles that cost $500,000 to $15 million each.
Given the purely physical approach to providing projectile kinetic energy, the MagDon is technically a type of cold weapon.
Space-based Kinetic Weapons
Commonly known as the “Staff of God,” its principle is very simple. A tungsten rod with a diameter of 30 cm and a length of 6 meters is transported into space and then dropped on a target on the ground in space orbit, because the drop height is hundreds or even thousands of kilometers above the earth, and the final velocity to the ground is more than ten times that of sound, so it can penetrate tens or hundreds of meters into the ground and destroy deep shelters. It is equivalent to 11.5 tons of TNT equivalent nuclear weapons, but does not damage the environment as nuclear weapons do.
Space-based kinetic energy weapons are powerful and have strategic deterrence capabilities, and are rumored to be being developed and deployed by both the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, but have not yet been confirmed by all parties.
