US Weaponry Has Some Mind-blowing Secrets You Didn’t Know!

America is the most powerful country on the world.

Being the top weapons manufacturer of the world, America provides weapons to almost all the countries and has been a major player in all the wars that have ever occurred.

In spite of weaponry being the tallest tower of the economy, US have kept a few secrets to itself in the form of lethal weapons that not many know of.

Here is a list of some mind blowing weapons that only America has which make them more powerful than ever.

1. MQ9 Reaper Drone

This is certainly the most prized possession of the US military. The Reaper Drone can climb upto 52,000 and read a license plate from over 2 miles. It is capable of carrying 500 pounds of bomb and has a flight time of 36 hours. US is working on developing a fleet of such drones that form a major part of their air support.

2. AA12 Atchisson Assault Shotgun

The AA12 can fire five 12-guage shells per second. It can also fire a high explosive called FRAG-12 round to 175 meters with equal efficiency. Its coil being well engineered, it is extremely easy to use and can also be triggered with one hand. Designed for long tern combat, it can fire many rounds without jamming and is one of the best weapons that the US military has.

3. ADAPTIV Invisibility Cloak

It is one hell of a cool weapon that can fool the best of fighters. It works over infra-red and other electronic frequencies to blend the coated vehicle with the background to make it invisible. It can also shape the returning signal to make it look like something else. So a tank can appear to be a car or an animal.

4. PHASR Rifle

This is another one of the cool babies of the US soldiers which was first used in America’s war in Iraq to stop Iraqis who would not halt at check points in a non lethal way. This rifle uses blinding laser array that causes temporary blindness to anyone caught in its sight.

5. The Taser Shockwave

This could be a shocker for many powerful countries as this one bears the capacity to create an “area of denial” and can electrocute a crowd even at 25 feet. It can be stacked and strung together anywhere and is a very powerful weapon to control a crowd.

6. The Active Denial System

Also known as America’s Ray Gun, this is a non-defeatable weapon of the US Army. It is a combination of radar array and microwaves that produce electromagnetic waves even shorter than microwaves which are instantly absorbed by the top layer of the skin and cause intense pain which causing the enemy to run away from the beam. It was deployed in Afghanistan in 2010.

7. XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System (IAWS)

This amazing weapon can shoot a 25mm grenade upto 500 meters. It was used in the Afghanistan war where the soldiers claimed that they could finish engagements in matter of minutes that would otherwise have taken about 20 minutes. What is impressive about this weapon is the grenade programming which can be manually programmed to hit targets hidden in bunkers or behind barriers.

The US is not a superpower for no reason. It has displayed unmatched power and performance in every field and has left no competitors in the weaponry business. Surely, this gives the US and edge over the others that will keep it strong forever.
