Elite Facts Presents 7 INSANE Weapons People Invented
7. Digital Revolvers and Pistols The future is now! So the Armatix Digital
Pistol looks like something out of freaking Blade Runner or some other science fiction
movie, and a variant of this weapon was actually featured in a recent James Bond film, "Skyfall"
in the form of a Walther PPK. What sets this gun apart from any other handheld pistol is
this new futuristic feature. The Palm Reader. This gun has a digital safety mechanism that
can only be disabled if the operator is also wearing a special wristwatch that sends the
unlock signal to the gun. The more and more we talk about it, The more and more it sounds
like the gun used in Judge Dredd…..The goofy one start Sylvester Stallone, Not the good
one! The wristwatch itself only becomes active once the user unlocks it with their fingerprint.
Now that's security for you! This means that in order to use the gun, you must have
your fingerprints scanned and recognized and you must be wearing the watch while you are
using the gun, That means no matter who has possession of the gun, the gun can only be
fired by the owner—preventing the gun from being used by people who may steal it. It
also means that the revolver cannot be used against its owner. Many gun experts claim
that this approach is the way of the future and a great means of ensuring gun safety.
How widespread this digital revolver gets used remains to be seen.
6. Pepperbox Gun Okay this one is a little bit of a cheat as
it is fairly similar to the split shot Duck Foot Gun wha with the multiple barrels on
this device. But we figured that it's just different enough to be classed as it's own
weapon and it's just too cool to leave off of this list. Much like any modern pistol,
pepperbox guns hold multiple bullets for repeat firing. However, unlike those unamerican pieces
of trash you call revolvers, a pepperbox doesn't believe in sharing. Now you're probably
saying "What the hell are you smoking?". Nothing. The Pepperbox gun doesn't believe
in sharing because the gun doesn't hold a clip of ammo. Instead, Each individual bullet
gets its own private barrel. No sharing required! Sharing is un american dammit! All jokes aside
however, this is pretty damn cool. It's almost like having a minigun in the palm of
your hand. Now as you'd probably expect, this weapon is just no good on the battlefield.
I know we've just bigged this weapon up for like a solid minute but as cool as it
is, it can be very impractical. Now you know how we just mentioned the minigun? Yeah there's
a reason why they're not that portable. They're usually mounted to vehicles or on
stands as stationary weapons. That's because the weight of the barrels is simply too much
to aim precisely, and keeping a steady. The pepperbox gun suffers from the same issue.
That's not all. Even though this gun can hold a lot of ammunition, Each bullet needs
to be loaded manually by hand-rotating the barrel between shots -- is too complex for
possible use on the battlefield. But regardless of all this, The weapon certainly deserves
to be mentioned on this list just for how crazy of an idea it is.
5. German Gustav Rail Cannon Time to go back to a dark period in history
to showcase one of the biggest titans used during the second world war. Back in WW2,
The germans developed a number of different powerful weapons that they envisioned would
help them to defeat the Allies and become the supreme military force on the planet.
Some of the weapons they envisioned and in some cases even invented were down right mad!
Things such as stealth bombers,
Spherical Tanks,
Anti Aircraft Rocket Launchers, Guided Missiles and even
quote unquote "Helped" further the development of nuclear weaponry. They were all about innovation,
however this weapon was just down right mad as they combined a large projectile weapon
with an on rails vehicle.
We're of course talking about the Dora and Gustav rail cannons. They were the biggest
cannons ever created and were so big they had to be moved around in pieces and assembled
in the desired location.
With almost a 32-inch caliber and rounds that weighed in excess of 10,000 pounds, the cannons
were capable of reaching targets more than 90 miles away, and travel through 100 feet
of dirt and rock. T
he Gustav gun was used only once, as the huge size and weight made them large targets and
incredibly difficult to transport.
4. Vomit Gun Remember the "sick sticks" used by police
in the movie Minority Report? Or how about that weird taser like device used in the film
Kick Ass 2? Well, The sticks would cause anyone they touched to instantly vomit. This weapon
is very similar to that concept. Believe it or not, a real life vomit gun has been invented.
In 2007, the U.S. Navy signed a contract with a company called Invocon to develop a weapon
that uses radio frequency to impact a person's sense of hearing and equilibrium. The idea
of this weapon is that if Anyone is hit by the vomit gun's….Rays?....Yeah, Rays,
Immediately experience severe motion sickness and will eventually throws up. At the same
time, The Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Department engaged
a company called Intelligent Optical Systems to develop an LED Incapacitator that emits
a rapid pulse of different colored lights to cause dizziness, headaches and vomiting
as well. Unlike most of the other weapons mentioned on this list, the Vomit Gun is viewed
as a non-lethal means of subduing people and gaining the upper hand on enemy combatants…...That
and embarrassing someone you just simply don't like without hurting them physically. And
very much like the soon to be mentioned digital revolver, the Vomit Gun seems to be a case
where science fiction has actually caught up to science fact. Maybe if this weapon is
used by the police, there will be less crime. Throwing up is one of the worst feelings ever!
3. Duck's Foot Gun Okay, I'm not going to lie, This one is
pretty damn cool! So A Duck's Foot Gun was a distinctive type of volley gun that was
manufactured during the 19th century and the 20th century. What sets this aside from other
volley guns out on the market is that it had multiple barrels all aiming in the exact same
direction, giving this weapon a much wider burst. Duck's Foot Gun had four individual
barrels that were arranged in a similar way to that of a duck's foot (I mean…..it's
in the gun's name after all). This unique arrangement meant that the user could use
it to fire at more than one target at a time. Hell it even gives the user a better chance
a taking down a group of people directly in front of them. This property made it very
popular with those who might have to face threats from groups or gangs, such as prison
guards and ship captains. This weapon isn't without it's flaws however as it's heavy
design and high recoil made it difficult to fire and aim.
2. Stinger Pen Pistol
If only this gun was golden. That way, it would seem like an updated version of the
golden gun from the James Bond film "The Man with the Golden Gun". I wonder how many
more times we can say Golden gun in this portion of the video?........Golden Gun. Okay all
jokes aside,
This weapon is literally something out of a spy thriller film, and have often seen guns
and other weapons disguised as ordinary household objects, such as a pen or walking stick.
The R. J. Braverman Stinger Pen Pistol differs from ordinary pen guns though, by actually
folding into position and looking like an actual gun, giving them a designation of a
normal gun, and therefore, freeing them of tight regulations that govern disguised weapons.
This gun was produced and manufactured back in the 90's (Because like most awesome things,
of course it was made back in the 90s), However, it is believed that only 4,000 of the guns
were ever made, making them something of a collector's item.
1. Hand Mortar Oh what's that? Grenade Launchers are too
heavy and way to inconvenient to carry around? Yeah we get you. Well did you know that there's
a freaking hand held explosive launcher that was created way back in the 16th century?
It begs the question as to why this hasn't been improved upon since then. Hand Mortars
are exactly what they sound like, a weapon that could be held in the hand, and fire an
explosive round over a large distance. This gun is exactly what would happen if A Grenade
Launcher Making love to a Flintlock pistol! The user would light the fuse of a grenade
and then put it into the barrel of the weapon, before using gunpowder to fire it at the enemy.
Now yes, that's pretty primitive, but this is the 16th century we're talking about.
Speaking of which, This weapon was used mainly between the 16th century and the 18th century,
although, it was not a common firearm. I mean, come on could you imagine every average joe
carrying around one of these back then? That would be like if every Cleatus out there had
a freaking rocket launcher. It would be anarchy! Now you're probably asking us "Why hasn't
this weapon been improved upon and why isn't it in production today?" Well the answer
to that is pretty simple. The weapon was unreliable and offered a number of safety concerns for
anyone using them. The explosive grenades could often become stuck in the barrel and
explode, while in other cases, the gunpowder would light the fuse too early and cause it
to prematurely blow up. It was just too risky to keep producing these guns and to risky
to even improve on them. Regardless, this weapon is just nuts!
