Ranking The Most Powerful Weapons

Today we will be ranking some of the worlds most powerful weapons:
Invented by Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim in 1884. This is the first recoil-operated machine gun that altered the world's firearm history forever. It could fire 600 rounds/minute, inflicting thousands of deaths upon the terrified enemies. It was famously used during the Battle of Shangani, in which 700 British soldiers fought off 3,000 warriors with only four Maxim guns. This was the largest weapon ever used in 15th century Austria. It has a ball diameter of 80 cm and was known as the monstrous super gun that incited fear in the hearts of the enemies. You can see one of these today in the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum at Vienna. Invented by French artillery officed Henri-Joseph Paixhans and produced in 1832 by France. The mortar could unleash 500 kg bombs and was used with devastating effect in the Siege of Antwerp in 1832. The RPG (Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot) or hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher is the most widely used today as an anti-armor weapon. Both militaries and insurgent groups used the RPGs to even out the battlefield especially against opponents with more heavy artillery.
