New Weaponry of WW2

WW2 was the best time to try out new things, such as weapons and tanks, and airplanes. In wars, the weapons are one of the most important tools to use. There are really cool weapons and some are just weird. Some people like the SOE (special operations executive) had to do special missions, kind like spies back then. We can't forget about the bad guys, the Japs have made weird weapons like a sub that had a hanger in it, really, no joke. Check it out.





The Panzerfaust was an anti tank weapon for the Germans, not much of a weapon but it worked once a shot.

Talking about the bad people, they made the very first jet, doesn't sound very cool, but at the time, it could go faster then any other plane of its time.
OK, now back to the good guys, we also had cool weapons at that time like, the M1 Garand

This rifle was and is the best weapon, and I think people would try anything to get it. Another weapon we had was the flamethrower was one of the most powerful weapon of its time. The flamethrower held two tanks, one for the fuel and the other for compressed gas. The people using the deadly weapon was the biggest targets at that time, the flame could be seen for miles on end and if the tanks were ever shot, it could blow up, not good for the person who is using it.


The anti tank rifle is a .55 cal. rifle, the biggest gun that can be fired by one man, or two.
READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!

In wars, the tanks are most feared, and can cause the most damage. Take a look at this.
You see, I can't forget about the snipers, they play an important part in wars, they, the two man
group can stop lots of people at a time.

This is one of the greater sniper in WW2. He was in Stalingrad when he got most of his kills, if not all. Vasiliy Zaitsev was his and to tell you the truth is, I don't know if he still alive. And I don't think he had a spotter with him.

Machine Gun

This is a M1919 Browning machine gun it was another new weapon that WWII brought. This gun was light infantry that could be mounted on almost about everything.

Flamethrower

The flamethrower was one of the newest weapons that WW2 had to offer. This made combat to become close range in other to use this weapon of choice. But it was also equipped with other things that were new like the tank.

Tanks


This tank was a M4A3R3 tank which was usually equipped with flame throwers. It was new to the war cause most people haven't seen this kind of weapon.




Killer Balloon

This big balloons were known as Killer Balloons. These balloons were made in the 1942 by the Japanese to help them try to when the war. The point of these balloons was to try to bomb the3 mainlands of the US but most of them were shot down. But the ones that did make it to the mainlands didn't blow up when they set them of cause of the weather the bombs didn't go off. So they were later on not being used as much.
