(#7) Landmines Delivered by Balloon
Near the end of World War II, things weren't going too well for Japan, so they tried using some unconventional warfare to bomb the United States. They tied bombs to hydrogen balloons and hoped the wind would carry them over to the United States, where they'd blow us all up. You have to give them points for originality, but the bombs either fell into the sea or failed to detonate when they reached American shores. -
(#12) The M-29 Davy Crockett Weapon System
It just wasn't enough for the military to drop nukes from planes. Nope, they had to develop man-portable nuclear rocket launchers. The problem here is that the launcher was essentially a suicide weapon. If the guy firing off the nuke didn't die in his own bomb's blast, he'd still get a lethal dose of radiation.

(#14) The Laptop Gun
Fans of the game Perfect Dark will dig this one. The folding machine gun (FMG) is a 9mm submachine gun that can take 30 round clips. It's designed to be disguised as a laptop battery, which means its main function is probably to be smuggled through airports. The problem is, batteries are getting smaller all the time, so there's no way this thing would pass a visual inspection these days. Oops. -
(#8) A Transmitter That Looks Like Dog Poop
When you're in enemy territory and you're trying to call in reinforcements or extraction, the last thing you want is for the enemy to destroy your transmitter. That's why the military developed an inconspicuous transmitter that looked like dog poop. It acted as a homing device, and it blended in well with its surroundings, so animals or enemy soldiers wouldn't touch it. -
(#13) The Focke-Wulf Triebfluegel
By the end of the second World War, the Nazis were developing a wingless fighter. Instead of wings, it had rotating thrusters to propel it forward from a vertical takeoff. The advantage to the fighter would be that you wouldn't need an airfield to launch it, but the Allies took the Nazi's research facilities before they were able to fully test it out. Still, there's probably some crazy alternate world fiction out there with this thing in it. -
(#17) A Grenade Launcher That Shoots Around Corners
Because a blindfired explosive just isn't good enough, the military designed a launcher that can turn around corners so you don't have to. It even has a little camera to help you aim. The weapon is capable of firing 60mm rounds and tear gas - but does it take bean bags?
