>>64441195>>64441357>Come on and SLAMAhh, Project Pluto, my beloved. Probably one of the most cruel, indiscriminate, ridiculous, and evil weapons ever imagined. I fucking love it.
>>64441234This is an actual death star... fly it to a planet's sun, set up, and blast it. May not blow up but will cook everything on it.
>>64441391>6. IFF Antennalol.

>>64440851spwint missiwe>>64440851Can we stretch the definition of "weapon" because socially manipulative algorithm is pretty high up the list for me.
>>64440851>That guy who proved you could infinitely scale up nuclear weapons>A Dr Strangelove doomsday machine would actually be trivial to make, it just would have no actual purpose so nobody makes one
>>64441523>Wash your penis and clean your military black site bucko
>>64441391Same.>>64441357I love when an article makes a claim that's so out there that someone decided an immediate non-numerical comparison is necessary to wrap one's head around it.>The use of a nuclear engine in the airframe promised to give the missile staggering and unprecedented low-altitude range, estimated to be roughly 113,000 miles (182,000 km) (over 4.5 times the equatorial circumference of the Earth).
>>64440851That was actually built, the Krešimir.

LIPC weapons are coolTLDR you cant really make a plasma rifle in the atmosphere because of how plasma behaves. so you use a laser to burn a hole to your target through the atmosphere and it allows you to arc plasma (a lightning bolt gun basically) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolaser
>>64441859The Davey Crockett Mini Nuke is the reason these weren't adopted. Turns out irradiating german towns is somehow more palpable than having multi kiloton nuclear weapons buried beneath your feet at all times.
>speculative tier: Dual-Vector foil that destroys a higher dimension and spreads across the universe at the speed of light>modern weapon: salted nuclear weapons to be a faggot and flip the table in terms of human kind>anti/k/uity: war elephants. Imagine during the Punic wars and being a Roman Hastati. Biggest animal you ever have seen is a horse. Then on the battlefield your Centurion points at an Elephant in shining armor with guys on top. And you have to fight it with your sword.
>>64440851Edward Teller was based beyond belief.>>64441234That's not how LASERs work.
>>64441968>antiquityI appreciate most highly Your Majesty's tender of good offices in forwarding to this Government a stock from which a supply of elephants might be raised on our own soil. This Government would not hesitate to avail itself of so generous an offer if the object were one which could be made practically useful in the present condition of the United States.Our political jurisdiction, however, does not reach a latitude so low as to favor the multiplication of the elephant, and steam on land, as well as on water, has been our best and most efficient agent of transportation in internal commerce.I shall have occasion at no distant day to transmit to Your Majesty some token of indication of the high sense which this Government entertains of Your Majesty's friendship.Meantime, wishing for Your Majesty a long and happy life, and for the generous and emulous People of Siam the highest possible prosperity, I commend both to the blessing of Almighty God.Your Good Friend, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.Washington, February 3, 1862.
>>64440851The self healing minefield, because it's a whole new level of fucked up.
>>64442034Gettysburg would have been cooler with an elephant charge

>>64440851My dick
>>64442583>AIanon... that's a real letter from abraham lincoln sent to the king of siam who had offered the president (not lincoln, because postage was slow back then) elephants to use and to breed if necessary. you can find the king of siam's letter itself, too:https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6923529

>>64441488Anon, if you're not trolling and just being dumb, A nicoll-dyson beam doesn't move. You just weaponize the Sun (or any other star) and then focus it on some point light years away, be it planet, star, or a spacecraft. It's like a magnifying glass and an anthill, just on a stellar scale.
>>64440851>Do you dare to enter my magical kingdom?>>64441866Dumb question but is the “lightning bolt” visible to the Human eye?
Just nuke everyone lmaohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundial_(weapon)

>>64443083Aww anon watched a jootube video
>>64440851Probably this.If it has to have been built and used then the I-400
>>64442126Is it? From looking it up, it seems like the idea is to make a network of anti-vehicle mines that's resistant to manual mine clearing, meaning that it doesn't require anti personnel mines mixed in to protect it. So while it makes it a lot harder to clear the minefield after the war, it also means that there's no AP mines out there waiting to blow some kid's leg off in 50 years.
>>64442957its a lightning bolt its extremely bright
Does a ship count?Yamato was such an insane thing. From its ridiculous firepower down to its relative final uselessness, I think it scratches the itch for massive mobile weapon platforms that probably won´t be repeated until space weaponry becomes a thing.I also like the concept of just kinetic weaponry accelerated by gravity. Like, why would aliens invade our planet to fight on the surface, when you can just attach low powered solar propulsion to huge ass rocks in the asteroid belt and hurl them at cities and military targets.
>>64441234>at a range of millions of light yearsIt would take millions of years for the beam to reach that target, even if you could somehow lead your shot by however much a planet moves in that time
The one where they were gonna microwave the protestors. Anyone got the article?
>>64441357>The name comes from the casaba melon, a variety of honeydew, because the lab was "on a melon kick that year," naming various projects after melons and having already used up all the good ones.lmao

>>64440851Why isn't the casaba howitzer more common in sci-fi or really any kind of fiction in general?You can't even find pictures or a description of what it would look like, despite what an absurdly powerful weapon it is.
>>64443328Make a screenplay or a little comic around it, you little whino.
>>64441989Teller concealed carried a fucking suitcase nuke in the trunk of his car
>>64443331>or a little comic around itThat's what I'm trying to do, but I can't find enough information about it to actually draw what it would look like, or to depict the kind of damage it would do. In my specific case, it would be used against a ground target.
>>64441989>Planned for testing>would basically end the world.
>>64443350Wing it>muh hard scienceIf its egregious enough fags will come out and tell you whats wrong with it.
>>64443365>Wing itNo, I'm going to get a PhD, and get into theoretical physics so I can develop and test it myself. There's already a big ripe target in the east. Well, more than one.

A weapon from my own fever dreams, fueled by corn alcohol and sardines>twin barreled autocannon using the gast principle >except its been scaled up to shoot naval cannon shells>an army of prisoners with jobs lay out the warheads and propellant blocks onto the half a mile long feed chute>a single firing burst causes so much percussion and smoke that some the slave- prisoners with jobs collapse from smoke inhalation or die outright from brain injuries>a mechanical voice from above commands them to reload the feed chute>and so they do, for to refuse this honor would mean serving on the frontline as infantry in the hell on earth war that would employ such weapons
>>64443174>why would aliens invade our planet to fight on the surfacei dunno, maybe they would still want to occupy this lousy rock, and so churning up the crust and the air with space rocks just to snuff the bald apes out isn't exactly a viable occupation strategy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment?wprov=sfla1Always thought this was a sick idea
>>64443943Notice the timer is less than a second
>>64443213I don't think that matters, by that distance it's already kinda dispersed due to photon pressure, but either way its several time stronger than the sun generally at habitable distances so you really just need to aim it generally in that direction and a few months later everything is dead even if it takes a few hits.
>>64441234I hate these floating megastructure bullshit graphics so much, especially ones that defy gravity despite looking like they'd outweigh the sun itself.
>>64442649The most nuts thing about the SADM is the guy's mission profile.>Step one: Deploy SADM>Step two: Stay with the SADM until detonation
>>64442957Yes, this guy built a functional version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lix-vr_AF38
>>64443314In what scenario do you need to fire a single shot hands free?
muh dik
>>64441234The concept might have some merit or not, too bored to think but adding these nonsensial megastructures just trying to make it look like a gun is painful to anyone who has an understanding of scale.Dude, the sun by itself is mostly rather light density gas apart from the core. Anythng made out of metal like this would pretty much collapse imediatelly into a black hole.To make things funnier, the "dyson swarm" in question, clearly barely captures ay of the suns energy because you can clearly still see it. Derp. And I dont even about the "spiral" effects around the visible laser beam and whatnot.
>>64441553>because socially manipulative algorithm is pretty high up the list for me.Frequently under-considered. I count it as a weapon. That's certainly how it's being used.
>>64444639> the sun by itself is mostly rather light density gas apart from the coreStars are 100% plasma>Anythng made out of metal like this would pretty much collapse imediatelly into a black hole.You'd have to double Sol 20 times to collapse it.>understanding of scale.Sol is 99% of the mass in the Solar system.
>>64440870I'd be more worried about that nuclear cruise missile SLAM ripoff thing they've got
>>64444639>To make things funnier, the "dyson swarm" in question, clearly barely captures ay of the suns energy because you can clearly still see it.Brother a Dyson Swarm is not a dyson sphere, it's by definition not 100% covering the star.
>>64442649This is why I think nuclear missiles are just show. Why risk detection in flight and retaliatory strikes and interception when they could just smuggle the bombs to the target cities years beforehand and detonate them remotely in an instant once they're ready to go?
>>64444726Its been 60 years, every major city has a nice little surprise under some ditch or in abandoned sewage pipe by now.
