Awesome.

i liked the shitty handgun for the French resistance best. One shot, 25 meter range? Lol.

Haha yeah, i mean for fuck sake they may aswell have produced 1 million knives for the same purpose.

If they REALLY wanted to fuck up the krauts in occupied Europe, they should have done it properly. Produce a shit-cheap tiny SMG with a 20 round magazine. Something along the lines of a Grease Gun

The ekranoplan! A soviet-era airplane that used ground effect to skim water at 15ft an 300mpg, carrying a huge payload without using much fuel.

love the useless weapons btw

That thing is massive. Damn i wish i could see one go past while in my sailing boat. That would be epic.

Yeah, that's insane. Talking about insane plans, the nazis had designs for the 'Amerika Bomber' during WWII, ie planes that would be capable of carrying out bombing runs on targets on American soil. Even though it was practically speaking virtually impossible at the time, the idea was good. With its massive coastline the US couldn't possible defend every city or installation with decent AA.

This sort of stuff has been popping up a lot in my life recently, I watched a documentary on the varying fighter planes of the cold war, including several versions of the MIG which I found really interesting. The insane weaponry was an awesome read, and that water-aeroplane thing is class! Imagine looking out to harbour and seeing that!

Bullfrogs are crazy (and will fuck shit up)

You get bored a lot, don't you?

No shit

A chick at work sent this to me and I was amused for a bit so figured I would share. I can just imagine putting the work into something like this and having to sneeze at a bad moment to wipe out the hard work.

haha, yeah. I don't have anywhere near the manual coordination to even be able to start something like this anyway though.

Coolio. Of course, this is probably only possible when it's almost exclusively muscle tissue, so seeing your knee shot to shit or bones crushed is likely still a one-way trip to amutationville. But it's a start!
