The ultimate weapon?

I was watching Bill Baileys live stand up DVD Bewilderness and he has a history of sheds on it and the last one it shows you is a military built shed that is bullet proof, assembles itself, airtight, can be dropped from 50000 feet, can survive an a bomb blast and has a vast array of weapons it even has a backstory that it was dropped in iraq to kill sadam but it failed because he doesnt actually go out to his shed that much. this would be the ultimate weapon what do you guys think?

Ummm... just to clarify things a bit...

This is a shed...right?
A really really really protective...shed?

How does this qualify as a weapon?

it had a lot of weapons on it yes it was a shed and a very protective one but it was armed to the teeth as well rocket launchers, miniguns and gas chambers to name but a few

is it manned? And if it is, where are they gonna get food from if they can't go out?

it isnt manned since it sets itself up in midair it can be a walking tank, sentinel or a deathly shed replacing sadam hussains shed with this if he went in it he would be trapped gassed and shot

I smell BS on ATS.

ok , this is so confussing .

I hope SHED is an abbreviation of something?hahaha is it?

Do you mean 'sled'... as in some sort of hovercraft? To be quite frank, I think that you're making this up... but until you confess I'll just have to assume that the army spent millions of dollars building a futuristic wood shed.

wait, this is from a comedy dvd? Ok... dude, you do realize that the 'shed' in question was probably a joke, right?

Well you could drop it on your enemies and hope to squash them??
I think Talon Robots are going to become a well used weapon in the milatary, not some shed with guns!

i dont see the point of a killer shed. unless its got some kind of propulsion, its pretty useless unless in the middle of a warzone

And once it landed you wouldn't be able to move it, better off with tanks!

But when the war is over you'd have somewhere to put your tools.

And your guns...

This just reminds me of an incident/coincidence two days ago.

I hadn't been to my shed in a long time, so when I went there to look for an Allen wrench I bumped my head on the frame.

Sheds hurt! I have the lump on my head to prove it!

Can't disagree with that, they can give people a very nasty bump on the head, enough to make enemies cry and run away!!!


Seriously though, what good would be dropping a shed into enemy territory ehh? NONE! What's the point in dropping somehting tiny out of a place, when a truck load of materials could build somehting 10 the size and more mobile?

To be fair...

We are considering installing Tungsten Rods in outer space to be dropped on enemy bunkers.

A shed definitely doesn't have a good shape or design.

Rods are far more aerodynamic.

Now, if the shed was wood...

I've heard a lot about Tungsten Rods but have never know what they really are! How would it come with the atmosphere?

Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal. It's also very resistant to corrosion.

I think that's why the rods are made of tungsten instead of some other metal.

A lot of other metals would melt before hitting the ground.
