Rob K	Cutting or disparaging remarks can really hurt... I wouldn't think that a nuclear bomb could be considered a 'best weapon' due to its destructive nature... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Flying Fid	The BEST? Do you actually think that things that kill and maim are good? I bet that you have never been in the military and probably hav'nt even got pubic hair yet. If you had seen any combat you would never talk about fetishising death and mutilation. I do not want to hear about your repulsive pornographic war fantasies, investigate sex and travel.

Robin H	Surely the best weapon is also the the most destructive and therefore the worst. Weapons are designed to kill so a nuclear bomb must be best. Personally I think we'll all be better off when we view them as a last resort and a sign of failure. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PuppyPower	Germ Warfare. It's invisible, portable, mutable, hard to detect, even harder to stop, doesn't destroy property, can kill massive numbers with a very small amount and can be introduced by air, water, skin contact, or surface contact. For instance: Thousands and thousands of Native Americans were killed with blankets infected with smallpox. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

E-5 Marine	Gunpowder. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Donald	The best weapon is often economic. If you can bankrupt your opponent the war is generally over. For example Iran gets over 80% of its income from the export of oil. If you were to blockade Iran so that it cannot export oil, the money that Iran uses to fund terrorism would be eliminated. Iran funds most of the terrorism in the world. If you blockade Iran, the funding for terrorism stops and most of the terrorism stops. This would also stop most of the terrorism and insurgency in Iraq since most of it is funded by Iran. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Holey Zarphinecrapidith	Lies, although not invented it is lies that fuel war, make ppl money, and get ppl killed. Also lies have been used by our founding fathers and our president since the dawn of the united states. Lies are possibly the best weapon any world leader has. For example if a president wants to go to war he first has to set up a believable "lie" as to why he wants to go to war, the rifle the bomb and the war force only comes after the lie has been used.

Stephen M	that depends what you mean by best. I wouldn't call the nuc the best weapon as its not very practical for defensive purposes and generally just kills lots of people. I would go for the tazer, effective and limited risk to life Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dragoner	The two most effective weapons of war ever are the Samurai Sword and the Long Bow. Both weapons require little or no training to use. Swing a Samurai Sword in a crowded room and see what I mean. Likewise twang off a couple of arrows with a longbow and whap, you've hit someone first time, even if they're not dead, they now have an arrow stuck in them. They're more concerned about their wound than about killing you. One more arrow should do the trick. Of the above two weapons that most deadly is undoubtedly the Longbow, which can keep an advancing army at a distance of 200 years with little effort. The Longbow is dead cheap to make and a single Ewe Tree will yield hundreds of bows all cut from staves made from the outer and inner wood. So cheap is the Longbow that boys aged 9 were given them in England. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
