StG-44 Sun Gun
 StG-44
Or the Sturmgewehr 44, is a German
made rifle that quickly gained popularity
on the battlefront for its shorter
magazine size compared to other rifles
at the time, while also keeping accuracy
at longer ranges.

If the StG-44 was He envisioned every soldier having a long
range, high firepower rifle to out range

infantry.
This philosophy wasnt wrong, just ahead of
did Hitler not like its time.
He did not allow for development of this rifle,
it?

so his developers renamed it to the MP-44,
and called it a submachine gun.
Demand rose quickly for the StG-44.
However, lack of rifles is not what limited the
Germans, lack of ammunition did.
He found out about the rifle after his soldiers
requested more.
He fell in love with the rifle after shooting it
himself.

Sun Gun
This weapon of mass destruction was
thought of by German scientist Hermann
Oberth, in 1923. It was a giant parabolic
mirror placed in space that in theory, could
magnify the suns rays on a small focused
area causing it to immediately go up in
flames.

What is a Parabolic
Mirror?
A parabolic reflector is a reflective
surface used to collect, or project
energy such as light, sound, or
radio waves.
Parabolic mirrors work in both ways
(Can focus energy onto a point, or
spread energy from one point to the
scope of the mirror)
Commonly found in car lights, and
flashlights
An example using something different
than light, are satellite dishes
War Applications

Its pretty obvious how this could be

used in a destructive way...
