THE EVILEST WEAPON OF WAR

Anything that kills is evil I suppose

 

Water kills, is it evil? :-?

Even things designed to kill are only as evil as the user.

 

The weapons themselves are not evil (they have no mental capacity to be so!). Rather, I think the discussion should be whether the intended use of the weapon was devised with "evil" intent (or not). Even then, it's unsettling to think that munitions designers try to think up ways to make a weapon just a little bit more nasty ("let's see, I'll add a little bit of this to the mix to make sure the bastard screams"). All weapons as used will have painful results, some terminal and some with more lasting consequences. Anti-personnel weapons are designed to render ineffective one's enemy - either by killing outright or injuring. Notwithstanding all this, my personal vote for "most evil" weapon would have to be a tie between two German mines: the SMi 35 or "S" Mine (also known as the "bouncing Betty"), which, when tripped, would jump out of its buried location and explode at waist-level, hurling hundreds of ball (how ironic) bearings around it, and the SchuMi 42 (known as the "shoe mine"), which was a small plywood box (hard to detect with electro-magnetic mine detectors) with just enough explosives to blow off a man's foot. Nasty.

 

put it this way , noweapon is evil , it's just a device , it's the person that is using it that is commiting the evil !

 

Very true.
But there is a difference between a weapon designed to kill a person quickly and efficiently (like a high-power sniper rifle) and one designed to wound / cause suffering (like shrapnel shells, or gas).

This is why the human brain has been touted as the most evil weapon...

 

True , again a device is a device a machine consisting of parts , designed to do a certain task , but a human brain thinks about the suffering , and creates devices which can help inflict them , to be specifiic. So, the human brain is the most dangerous weapon.

 

Flame thrower, biological weapons, gas.

It's a three-way-tie for me.

 

The deadliest weapon is human ignorance, short and straight.

 

what about the vacum grenade i heard the germans invented it and used it at the eastern front
after russian parlamenterys were comming over to show the germans what their weapon did with them they were so shocked that they never used it again
my source is a dubios web site so i am not sure if it is correct

what do you mean danny boy????

 

My guess, and I'm not wishing to put word into Danyel Phelps's mouth here, but this is purely my interpretation on this...

"Vacuum Grenade" sounds like a term dreamed up for a science fiction wargame, replace "German Soldiers" with "Space Marines", replace "Vacuum Grenade" with "Vortex Grenade" and you have a combination from 1st Edition Warhammer 40,000.

There is no reliable reference to Vacuum grenades, there is no reliable reference to how exactly German scientists came up with them, or where they went post-war or why no-one else uses them.

There are obvious flaws in your description, for a start Soviet Partisans did not as a whole "Come over" to the Germans, the partisans knew what would happen if they did, a bullet in the head if they were lucky, the tender mercies of the SS if they weren't.

There is so much crap on the net about German and Axis technology in WWII it is unbelievable, Nazi flying saucers and a Japanese moon base are just a couple that I've personally read about. Vacuum grenades fit into the list of "German super-weapons" so perfectly it is fantastic (And better yet there is no reputable evidence either for or against, probably because they didn't exist!), and (Seriously no offence meant), in your posts you come across as something of a pro-German to say the least.

I guess that is what Danyel meant by his less than tactful post, I wouldn't be surprised if that was "moderated" soon, but suffice to say that not everyone here entirely follows the line that the Germans were super-troopers/scientists/technologists/engineers/pilots/etc...

I know you included the suggestion in your post that you considered this dubious, I think Danyel may have missed this in his haste to reply.

 

You hit the nail on the head.

 

yes you convinced me the vacum grenade is the same bullshit for me as the vril engine or the kraftstrahl kanone
anyways it was all on the same site

 

It is by far the human mind. Human mind is the most evil weapon of war. It is unpredictable and you never know where it will strike next!!!!!

 

It is our nature

 

what is a vacumn grenade. I never heard of one

 

Probably because it never existed (IMO), just one of those German "Secret Weapons" that crops up in conspiracy theorist circles from time to time, there's no evidence for it and the account of its use is highly flawed.

It was probably designed to be dropped by Nazi Flying saucers launched from the Japanese moon base and piloted by the pro-Facist Martians. :roll:

 

No no no... everybody knows that the Martians were racially degenerate and were to be conquered for Lebensraum. It was the good Ayrian Plutonians who were to pilot the Flying Saucers.

 

The Illuminati had been aware of their existence for centuries but kept it silent until they managed to bring a suitable leader to power in their favorite manipulated country, Germany. They were only days ahead of the OSS which was planning a similar operation aimed at the Martians, whom they thought would be valuable allies.
