What is the most beautiful weapon of war ever?

In the paper today it had about 100 years of flight and had a picture of the Supermarine Spitfire. This got me thinking what is the most beautiful looking weapon ever. I have to say this would get my vote, this and the the cloud that comes with an atomic bomb.

What would you say is?

I think it is the sword. Used for many ages and rarely it fails. The next would be the bow and arrow.

Modern tech I would have to say that I like the nuclear submarine, so gracefull looking, so deceptive and mysterious yet so lethal.

i think the best war weapon is a 100 mega ton atomic bomb.....

if you fight someone you can make them backdown with thearting them...

Nothing more beautiful than watching some cowards trembling in their boots eh Russian. I definately did not expect this picture of peaceful discussion and resolve to come from you.

insite's idea of a typical Russian statement:

" I think the most beautiful war weapon is a 100 megaton atomic bomb... levelling a city"

I think one that plants trees and flowers and spread love, that would be the most beautiful weapon for war.
I can't imagine how one can like something that kills.

Seeing the B-2 makes me feel all warm inside


Mmm, who's your daddy?

And who could forget OICW:

Like the Genesis bomb from Star Trek.


My favorite would have to be the F-22.

Women are the most beautiful weapon of war.

Goddammit, every time I see a picture of that plane I think it's going backwards.

Your Apache pic..

Most likely a photoshop job..



No Apaches for Australia..

They got the Aussie Tiger..

(Eurocopter Tiger..)



And if the pic is for real its just lame PR stunt by Boeing..

Didnt work..

That's the gateway arch in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Fulcrum.

Youre an expert on weaponry but your geography needs work. (j/k)

*Goes to shame on some dark closet*

I just took a very, very quick look at it..

That arc thing kinda looked like the Sydney opera house..



I really need glasses..



*edit*

Oh,

Btw..

Then it really is a Boeing PR photo..

As they have a factory in St.Louis.



I think that this PR photo worked after all..

(St.Louis being in US and US being the biggest user of Apaches..)

since we're including new and unused technologies, i have to say that the MiG project 1.42 (isn't it the MiG-35 now? i remember we had a long discussion about that) is damned gorgeous




*drools*

~B-1b Lancer bomber. HUGE swept wing intercontinental bomber.

Comanche ?

Or maybe this one ?


Bofors AK5D - latest, shortened version
