more great content for this list we’re
looking at weapons that can cause a lot
of damage and what specifically makes
them dangerous
each entry is our pick for a particular
class of weapon number ten the barrett
m82 sniper rifle nicknamed the light 50
this semi-automatic 50 caliber rifle
made by Barrett has been used by the US
military in the Gulf War Afghanistan and
Iraq weighing about 30 pounds the m82 is
considered lightweight and it’s attached
to muzzle brake is set to reduce recoil
when fired
traveling 2,800 feet a second its
ammunition can hit through bricks and
concrete
so this anti material gun can pack a
wallop with an effective range of five
thousand nine hundred feet and a maximum
range of over 21,000 feet it’s hard to
escape this highly accurate sniper rifle
good night
number nine rocket-propelled grenade or
RPG inspired by the Panzerfaust used by
the german army in world war ii this
weapon you can fire from your shoulder
was designed to cause serious damage to
a tank when the rpg-7 was introduced in
1961 its heat warheads could break
through ten inches of armor contrary to
popular belief the RPG did not
originally stand for rocket-propelled
grenade but the Russian term root
annoyed protein at Ungava Granato mute
which roughly translates to handheld
anti-tank grenade launcher it’s been
used by the Vietcong against US troops
in Vietnam and by the Mujahideen against
the Soviets in Afghanistan number eight
the napalm bomb
top of the morning napalm is a
combination of gasoline or similar fuel
and a thickening agent which makes it
easier to stick to its target capable of
creating heat up to 2,200 degrees
Fahrenheit
napalm can cause second-degree burns
with the slightest touch due to these
deadly factors bombs containing napalm
were a popular weapon of choice used by
the u.s. during the Vietnam War when
napalm bombs are dropped they take
carbon dioxide in the air and turn it
into carbon monoxide
due to its deadly nature in 1980 the
United Nations made it illegal for
anyone to use napalm against civilians
no book victory number 7 the m134
minigun
though the m2 50 caliber machine gun is
quite dangerous in its own right we’ve
got to go with the m134 minigun here
first created by General Electric in the
1960s as a smaller version of the 20
millimeter m61 Vulcan the m134 has six
rotating barrels that can put out up to
six thousand rounds a minute the
automatic weapon is powered by an
electric motor and is designed to be
mounted on an aircraft or vehicle so
contrary to what’s shown in action
movies
you can’t just scrap one on and start
blasting everything in sight number six
the Boeing ah-64 Apache nothing is more
powerful than a young boy easily accept
an Apache helicopter an Apache
helicopter has machine guns and missiles
it is an unbelievably impressive
complement of weaponry an absolute death
machine equipped with two sixteen
hundred and ninety-six horsepower gas
turbine engines that can go 227 miles
per hour
this attack helicopter manufactured by
Boeing has seen its share of action in
Desert Storm and the US war in
Afghanistan it also includes a deadly
arsenal firepower including agm-114
hellfire missiles 70 millimeter rockets
and an m2 30 30 millimeter chain gun
that can unload 1,200 rounds in less
than two minutes at his vehicle turned
180 degrees by the sheer force of the
Apache helicopters 30 millimeter proven
this helicopter has impressive sensor
equipment such as the integrated helmet
and display sighting system or I had
which helps guide the pilot to find his
intended target number five the tank
these armored vehicles have been rolling
down the battlefield for decades and
come in different varieties there have
been so many different models of tanks
over the years it’s impossible to single
out one as the deadliest they got a cake
I’m sorry did somebody just say a tank
the m1a2 abrams tank from the United
States has your
rhenium depleted armor almost three feet
thick and a 120 millimeter cannon the
leopard 2 from Germany weighs 68 point 7
short tons and its armor helps it
withstand attacks from RPGs and
improvised explosive devices
the k2 Black Panther from South Korea
has a fire control system that allows
the tank to locate objects without input
from the operator and it has a cruise
range of 280 miles number for the
general atomics mq-1 predator it’s all
away time of flight 10 seconds while the
age of killer robots hasn’t reached us
yet
this aircraft may be a sign of things to
come used for surveillance combat and
recon missions this unmanned aerial
vehicle or UAV can be controlled by a
pilot or a small crew thousands of miles
away the vehicle has been used by Italy
Morocco and Turkey more controversially
the CIA have used it to conduct strikes
in Yemen against the suspected
terrorists behind the USS Cole and Anwar
al-awlaki
an alleged al-qaeda spokesperson the US
Air Force announced plans to retire the
predator as early as 2018 replacing the
drone with the mq-9 Reaper also known as
predator be number 3 the ak-47 also
known as the Kalashnikov this is the
ak-47 assault rifle the preferred weapon
of your enemy and it makes a distinctive
sound when fired at you
so remember it designed by Mikhail
Kalashnikov shortly after world war ii
this tried-and-true assault rifle has
been used by militaries guerrillas and
terrorist groups throughout the years
the weapon is so iconic that it’s
featured on the flags for Mozambique and
Hezbollah the ak-47s popularity stems
from its being easy to mass-produce and
not requiring much training to handle
gas operated with a rotating bolt system
these firearms are durable able to last
anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 rounds and
they hold up in tough weather conditions
everybody knows what an ak-47 is number
2 sarin gas named some signs a person
would exhibit if they’ve been exposed to
Sanga vomiting severe muscle twitches
and then death by choking on their own
vomit developed in Germany as a
pesticide in 1938 sarin is a colorless
odorless tasteless gas
Susan sarin we did earlier this nerve
agent has been used in two separate
terrorist attacks in Japan in the
mid-90s as part of chemical warfare in
the iran-iraq war and during the Syrian
civil war in 2013 and 2017 when sarin is
introduced to an area it can spread
quickly inspecting the air people
breathe and the water they drink
according to the CDC exposure in
significant amounts can lead to
convulsions paralysis and possibly fatal
respiratory failure before we unveil our
number-one pick here are some honorable
mentions let’s go and make the greatest
war movie ever yeah yeah number one the
hydrogen bomb
also called a thermonuclear weapon
hydrogen bombs are much more powerful
than atomic bombs and can cover more
area unlike atomic bombs which requires
splitting big atoms like uranium H bombs
work by fusion when a hydrogen bomb is
set off it gives off high temperatures
that cause hydrogen isotopes to fuse
together resulting in a much bigger
explosion the most powerful hydrogen
bomb that has been tested is the tsar
bomba which set off an explosion of 50
megatons of tnt as compared to the
atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima which
was only 15 kilotons in 2016 North Korea
claimed to have tested a miniaturized
hydrogen bomb which is true would be a
frightening prospect do you agree with
