Have you ever looked at something like a sword, gun or missile and thought: “yea but what if it could kill, maim or disfigure even MORE sentient beings?” Erm, us neither, but we still managed to compile this outrageous list of absolutely bonkers weapons systems that are, frankly, over the top.  Though, to be honest, we would never say that to their faces.  Just look at these things!
