Future Weapons

Everyday the United States military is brainstorming ideas for every type of situation. These ideas are future weapons. The United States military has the most advanced technology and enough income to make these ideas into real life. These future weapons will are being developed and tested now, so in the years to come they will be used on the combat field. Also these weapons are being made to help protect our soldiers more and beat the enemy more sufficiently.

The Corner Shot 40 is newly designed hand held firearm that allows someone to shoot around corners. The idea behind this is to protect the operator from any incoming fire and to allow the operator to fire back with acuracy. The gun is equipped with a carmera on the end of the swizling barrel. The camera transmits a video and thermal image around the corner to the soldier and the rest of the teammates on a screen. The swizzling barrel can rotate 63 degrees to the right or to the left. The stock can be exchanged with a grenade launcher and a 9mm hand gun.

The MOAB Bomb is one of the most powerful weapons in the United States arsonal. MOAB stands for Massive Orndance Air Blast. This bomb is 30 feet long, wieghs 21,000 lbs, and carries nine tons of H-6 explosives. The MOAB can only be deployed from the back of a cargo airplane. It uses a GPS system to pin point its targets. Realistically, one MOAB bomb would not do as much damage as many other smaller bombs, but becasue of it huge blast and the same mushroom cloud a nuclear bomb makes, the MOAB is great phycological threat.

Barrett M107 Rifle is high powered spiner rifle. The M107 was first used in Desert Storm, and worked effictively. The M107 fires over 5,000 feet and can take down anything from enemy personal to park aircrafts. The M107 uses .50 caliber ammo, very long shells that have been used for a long time as well. The design of the gun elimates the amount of recoil, so the soldier and concentrate on a specific target and fire multiple times accurately. The standard Barrett M107 sniper rifle comes with a 10X telescopic sight and a bipod, which makes it even more deadly accurate.

These are just a couple of the United States military's new toys. They all have different specific jobs, but they have one goal in common; to help protect the American soldier in the future on the battle field. These are some of the Future Weapons that are being tested at present time or are already in the field being used. One thing I know is that I do NOT want to be an enemy of the United States of America when they are creating weapons such as these.
