Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3253781, member: 7874"] OK! Dylexsia strikes again. I swear I stared at the title and saw interesting, not inretesting -- sorry! The verbage below was created in OpenOfficeWriter and spell checked. I'll have to do the same with the title. Here are some interesting and perhaps bizarre weapons that mostly failed. A good thing since most were conceived by the Nazis. Not all however! [LIST=1] [*]What is the Bob Semple Tank? [*]What is the Panzerfaust's (Armor Fist) use? Kind of gives the answer away. [*]This one is a failed effort but nonetheless the Russians during WWII tried to build this hybrid contraption at their Naval Engineering Institute. It had two modes of mobility. What was it? [*]What was the purpose of the post WWII USA developed device known as the Davy Crockett? Digital gamers playing Fallout and Metal Gear Solid 3 may have seen this weapon. Ask your grand children. [*]OK! Another one from the ever inventive Nazis, the Fliegerfaust (Plane Fist)! What was it its use? OK! Its intended use? Its concept works quite well today. [*]Those crazy Nazis tried anything to kill you. Their Panzerwurfmine had limit success since it had to hit its target at a 90[B]°[/B] angle, no more, no less. What was its intended purpose (target) and how was it used? It is somewhat related to the Panzerfaust. (Panzerwurfmine, Panzerfaust, Fliegerfaust, etc. - no wonder I struggled with learning spoken German.) [*]The Strumpistole (Assault Pistol) failed because it had too many what? The Swiss army knife was far more successful. [*]The Zielgerat 1229 was the first accessory to provide the Nazis ground troops with what? [*]The Fritz X was the first of this type of bomb? Most probably wouldn't think it was possible during WWII. [*]Flechette was the Nazis' WW I answer to the Brit's favorite pub game. They had a characteristic not found in the pub game. How were they used? [*]In WW I Lance Corporal William Beech invent a device for not getting his head blown off in the trench warfare. What was its name? [*]The Brits used an ancient technology to get grenades into the enemy's trenches. What was its name? It was replaced by a French device which had less range. Gee, that makes sense. The Germans of course used a higher tech version for greater distance. [*]The British Special Operations Executive Unit in WW II developed a unique explosives delivery method. Middle eastern terrorists just took it a step further. What was the British delivery method? Supposedly the Nazis were impressed. [*]Staying with this grisly theme what was the Yoksuka MXY-7 OHKA? It was a high tech version of what the Japanese were already using. [*]The Silbervogel failed to reach production due to a “slight” thermodynamics miscalculation. How did this miscalculation affect the Silver Bird? NASA is currently working on accomplishing the Silbervogel's intended transportation goal without the military use, maybe. No, not space travel.
