8 worst guns ever invented

In Martin Dougherty's book "The World's Most Bad Weapons," this author details the long history of overly ambitious weapons but activities cannot be "boring" at all. meet the expectations of their creators.

In this article, we will introduce you to the 8 most silly guns ever produced, from a knuckle and a dagger, to rocket-propelled bullets, according to BusinessInsider page:

8. Sten gun MK II

The Sten gun MK II has a very high rate of sliding, and there is even information that bullets fired from guns . get out of target!

"At a time when England faced aggression and people needed a large amount of Sten weapons and guns, it was a reasonable choice because it was quick and easy to dismantle, and it was even better," Dougherty wrote.

1. Country: England
2. Year started using: 1940
3. Gun type: Submachine
4. Range: 70 meters
5. Bullet tape: 32 tablets

7. Bazooka

A big problem for bazookas is the sparks that flare up when shooting very large, exposing the position of the person shooting and pushing the dust, shells, and even sparks towards the soldier using it. Later versions of the bazooka were equipped with a backward shield to solve this problem.

"The best thing about bazooka is that it helps to form the basis for better weapons to appear later," Dougherty wrote.

1. America
2. Year started using: 1942
3. Gun type: anti-tank gun does not control
4. Range: less than 150 meters
5. Bullet: a missile contains 1.6 kg of explosives

6. LeMat interlock revolver gun

LeMat interlocking revolver gun is another attractive idea with a fate. Designed to be a weapon for the cavalry during the American Civil War, the LeMat gun could contain nine bullets in the revolver, with a sub-barrel and a hunting rifle in the middle.

Users will need to fire to select the type of bullet to fire. Although in theory, this is an interesting idea, but in fact, this gun is designed quite negligently and does not work as expected.

1. America
2. Year started using: 1856
3. Gun type: single-handed gun
4. Range: 50 meters
5. Bullet tape: 9 tablets

5. Krummlauf

The looks of the Krummlauf seem to be a good idea . provided that the laws of physics in animation can be applied in real life.

This gun was designed to be able to fire bullets flying around corners (like Wanted movies) with the barrel bent from 30 to 45 degrees with a viewfinder mounted on the body of a standard assault rifle.

After spending a lot of time and money to tinker with the design, it was discovered that this gun was too expensive and could not be produced on a large scale.

1. Country: Nazi Germany
2. Year started using: 1945
3. Gun type: long gun
4. Range: 2km
5. Bullet tape: 30 capsules

4. Chauchat

In 1915, when World War I was at its peak, the French Chauchat light machine gun appeared and proved that no light machine gun should be the same.

The gun was sketchy, highly recoiled, often stuck in bullets, and even when it worked perfectly, this gun's 20-round magazine was not enough to fight seriously. .

1. France
2. Year started using: 1915
3. Gun type: support weapon
4. Range: 1km
5. Bullet tape: 20 capsules

3. Gyrojet

Gyrojet pistol is one of the most innovative ideas in modern tube life history. It uses a rocket propulsion mechanism to fire bullets. However, this gun was poorly accurate and was therefore discontinued.

1. America
2. Year started using: 1965
3. Gun type: single-handed gun
4. Range: 50 meters
5. Bullet tape: 6 capsules

2. Pistol Mars

In the early 20th century, inventors tried to create a self-reloading pistol. Eventually, the Colt M1911 became a standard, but before achieving that result, many mistakes, including the Mars pistol, were made.

Mars has a very complex mechanism of operation, not to mention pushing the used bullets directly into the shooter's face.

"About 80 Mars have been created, then it quickly disappeared from the military map," wrote Dougherty.

1. Country: England
2. Year started using: 1900
3. Type: single-handed gun
4. Range: 40 meters
5. Bullet tape: 6 capsules

1. Apache pistol

Perhaps none of the guns on this list "promised much and did nothing" like the Apache pistol. It is a combination of a knife, a brass knuckle and a small revolver body, all foldable.

In fact, all three make the Apache password useless.

Brass knuckle works quite well, but the blade is thin and loose. The revolver body has no barrel, very weak firepower and lack of precision.

And yet, the trigger has no protection mechanism, so users are often robbed.

1. America
2. Year started using: 1880
3. Type: personal defense weapon
4. Range: melee (?)
