Weapons are any devices or means of combat used to achieve this goal by neutralizing or killing an enemy, and disabling his equipment and facilities. Conventionally, weapons are divided into two groups: conventional and mass destruction (WMD).
Instruction manual
1
The group of conventional weapons includes small arms: mechanical, pneumatic, firearms, electric, as well as incendiary (fire mixtures), explosive (mines, grenades) and missile (missiles, torpedoes). The most dangerous species in this category include:
- expansive (explosive) bullets;
- bullets depleted in uranium, burning tank armor;
- cartridges filled with fragments of magnesia.
2
The "metal storm" installation, which produces 16, 000 bullets per second, as well as the AA-12 shotgun, which produces 300 grenades per minute, are no less dangerous.
3
The Barrett M82 sniper rifle, which has a bullet speed of three sound speeds, hits a target from a distance of 1.8 km. Next come grenades and bombs stuffed with white phosphorus, the burning particles of which (over 800 ° C) melt human flesh and bones.
4
Napalm (pyrogels) is a chemical mixture based on thick gasoline with a burning temperature of 1600 ° C, which cannot be extinguished with water. Rounding out the list is a cluster bomb containing more than 10 small bombs, and a Davy Crockett grenade launcher - a cannon firing nuclear warheads for 4 km, creating a 600 x-ray emission zone within a radius of 300 m.
Many countries have signed a convention banning the use of such weapons, but not all, such as the United States and Israel, are on the abstention list.
5
The second group traditionally includes:
- chemical (poisonous), - biological weapons (infecting), - nuclear (radioactive). The consequences of their use are familiar to earthlings through bitter experience. But humanity has drawn only one conclusion from this - something more ambitious needs to be done. As a result, the list has noticeably expanded.
6
A vacuum bomb is equated to a low-power nuclear bomb, but it doesn’t kill by a shock wave, but by rarefied air, tearing apart human lungs. Man’s wild “triumph” over nature was embodied in geophysical weapons (seismological), meteorological (precipitation control), climate (global climate change), ozone (local destruction of the ozone layer). And only the high cost and low knowledge of these areas so far saves the earth from terrible experiments.
7
The following types of WMD are in the stages of enhanced development: acoustic (infra- and ultrasound), genetic (gene pool changes), laser (heat of heat rays), psychotropic (destruction of the psyche and subjugation of human will), information ("brain attack"). And there’s a lot that we don’t even suspect.
A simple conclusion suggests itself: the most dangerous weapon in the world is the brain of a man mired in his own fears and complexes.
