Unique Military Weapons
Cant recall ever seeing a thread on this topic so i thought it was time we had one... this thread is dedicated to military weaponry of any kind, from any era or nation.

There is a seemingly endless array of novel, fascinating, revolutionary or even ill-fated hardware out there so subject material shouldnt be a problem.

First entry coming up shortly...

Probably already been mentioned, but the "Cherry Blossom" was pretty unique, in a horrible way:

Didnt Kalashnikov kind of copy the design of the Sturmgeweher to make the ak-47?

Some of the innovations the Germans had for back then were incredible.

The ME-262 the worlds first Jet fighter

Another innovation was the US Navy pumping carbon dioxide into their airplane fuel on their carriers during WWII. Thats why the Yorktown survived. the Japanese? not so lucky. No C02 for them.

Misericorde dagger. A long thin dagger used to euthanize people who were too wounded to survive but whose wounds were not immediately fatal giving them a quick death instead of a lingering one. The name comes from the latin for 'act of mercy' and was used extensively in the Middle Ages and into the 17th century. The mercy kill was usually done by thrusting down between the neck and collarbone and piercing the heart. Another was was to thrust through visor into the eye socket and brain.

These daggers could also be used in close hand to hand combat.

Everytime someone mentions the ME 262 I also think of the Horton 229. It was the precursor of stealth and a flying wing. Think small fighter version of the B-2. One can only imagine the what ifs if the Nazis could have figured out the dynamics of a making it work and producing it.

And Kalashnikov claims he didn't copy it with AK-47. Maybe he didn't but there sure is a likeness

The 262 was developed in time to do significantly more damage than it did, Hittler in a syphilis rage forced it to turn into a light bomber instead of the air to air role it was designed for.
