From mighty lasers that can rain down destruction from above, to weapons that can target your mind, and more! JHere are 8 incredible top secret military weapons!
9. Directed Energy Weapons One of the most common weapons in sci-fi is a laser, and believe it or not, the military of the United States have already created some that are in implementation right now. One of the most popular of which is the LaWS, or “Laser Weapon System”, and it works just like you think it would. It fires a laser at things and either hinders or destroys the target.
8. LRAD LRAD stands for "Long Range Acoustic Device", and on the surface, this may not seem like a bad thing. As sometimes communication can be vital to an operation being carried out properly or a message being heard over a large crowd. However, as the Ferguson, Missouri protests proved quite definitively, they can absolutely be a weapon against people.
7. Secret Stealth Bomber? Officially speaking, there is a stealth bomber in the military known as the Lockheed Martin F-117A Nighthawk. It was made during the era of the Cold War to go and spy on enemy sites while being able to deflect radar (via its flat bottom half) as well as drop payloads before things got too hairy.
6. Mind Control This one is honestly an all-time classic of weapons that the governments of the world either have tried to make, or might have right now in some fashion. The concept of mind control has been a notion long before movies and TV shows have depicted them. Because in the minds of many, if you could get a person to do what you wanted with much effort, it could make a lot of things easier. Including for governments, getting information or using them to infiltrate bases.
5. Heart Attack Gun There are various "boogeyman" organizations out there in the world today that are said to have all sorts of secret devices and weapons that aren't known to the public. But few are as "spooky" and mysterious as the CIA and their arsenal. Especially during the Cold War they were willing to do and make just about anything to ensure America would survive, including making Project MK Ultra.
4. Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition (MAHEM) Battling armored vehicles isn’t easy, the preferred weapon of choice to dispose of them is an RPG, but technology has advanced in such a way that a new type of missile warhead has been created. This is called the Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition, or MAHEM.
3. Biological Weapons Believe it or not, even with how the world is nowadays, there are still certain things that humanity as a whole can agree on. One of the biggest ones is that biological weapons (meaning weapons that are specifically designed to attack and destroy the human body) are outlawed. Nations found using them will be severely punished.
2. Subliminal Messaging It's very easy to think of "Subliminal Messaging" as a kind of a kind of mind control. But in fact, it's not, it's more of giving the mind, and by extension the person, a "push" in the right direction. In fact, you could argue that just about every ad you see on television is a kind of "subliminal messaging" because they're trying to entice you in various ways to go get their products.
1. Project Thor If you've seen the movie GI Joe Retaliation, you'll know that Cobra Commander instituted a plan to put satellites into space that would drop massive rods of metal from the sky to the ground with such devastation that it would destroy a city. Even being shown destroying London with just one drop.
