Ahh, Project Pluto, my beloved.

Probably one of the most cruel, indiscriminate, ridiculous, and evil weapons ever imagined. I fucking love it.

This is an actual death star... fly it to a planet's sun, set up, and blast it. May not blow up but will cook everything on it.

I love when an article makes a claim that's so out there that someone decided an immediate non-numerical comparison is necessary to wrap one's head around it.
>The use of a nuclear engine in the airframe promised to give the missile staggering and unprecedented low-altitude range, estimated to be roughly 113,000 miles (182,000 km) (over 4.5 times the equatorial circumference of the Earth).

That was actually built, the Krešimir.

LIPC weapons are cool

TLDR you cant really make a plasma rifle in the atmosphere because of how plasma behaves. so you use a laser to burn a hole to your target through the atmosphere and it allows you to arc plasma (a lightning bolt gun basically)

The Davey Crockett Mini Nuke is the reason these weren't adopted. Turns out irradiating german towns is somehow more palpable than having multi kiloton nuclear weapons buried beneath your feet at all times.

I appreciate most highly Your Majesty's tender of good offices in forwarding to this Government a stock from which a supply of elephants might be raised on our own soil. This Government would not hesitate to avail itself of so generous an offer if the object were one which could be made practically useful in the present condition of the United States.

Our political jurisdiction, however, does not reach a latitude so low as to favor the multiplication of the elephant, and steam on land, as well as on water, has been our best and most efficient agent of transportation in internal commerce.

I shall have occasion at no distant day to transmit to Your Majesty some token of indication of the high sense which this Government entertains of Your Majesty's friendship.

Meantime, wishing for Your Majesty a long and happy life, and for the generous and emulous People of Siam the highest possible prosperity, I commend both to the blessing of Almighty God.

Your Good Friend, ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Washington, February 3, 1862.

they're all crazy. shoving or propelling a bit of metal through the flesh of a sentient peer is baseline insanity just as a starting point, tipping into outright evil if it isn't just clear-cut self-defense.

anon... that's a real letter from abraham lincoln sent to the king of siam who had offered the president (not lincoln, because postage was slow back then) elephants to use and to breed if necessary. you can find the king of siam's letter itself, too:

Anon, if you're not trolling and just being dumb, A nicoll-dyson beam doesn't move. You just weaponize the Sun (or any other star) and then focus it on some point light years away, be it planet, star, or a spacecraft. It's like a magnifying glass and an anthill, just on a stellar scale.

Probably this.

If it has to have been built and used then the I-400

>>64442126
Is it? From looking it up, it seems like the idea is to make a network of anti-vehicle mines that's resistant to manual mine clearing, meaning that it doesn't require anti personnel mines mixed in to protect it. So while it makes it a lot harder to clear the minefield after the war, it also means that there's no AP mines out there waiting to blow some kid's leg off in 50 years.

>>64442957
its a lightning bolt its extremely bright

Does a ship count?

Yamato was such an insane thing. From its ridiculous firepower down to its relative final uselessness, I think it scratches the itch for massive mobile weapon platforms that probably won´t be repeated until space weaponry becomes a thing.

I also like the concept of just kinetic weaponry accelerated by gravity. Like, why would aliens invade our planet to fight on the surface, when you can just attach low powered solar propulsion to huge ass rocks in the asteroid belt and hurl them at cities and military targets.

>>64441234
>at a range of millions of light years
It would take millions of years for the beam to reach that target, even if you could somehow lead your shot by however much a planet moves in that time

Why isn't the casaba howitzer more common in sci-fi or really any kind of fiction in general?
You can't even find pictures or a description of what it would look like, despite what an absurdly powerful weapon it is.

>>64443328
Make a screenplay or a little comic around it, you little whino.

Teller concealed carried a fucking suitcase nuke in the trunk of his car

>>64443331
>or a little comic around it
That's what I'm trying to do, but I can't find enough information about it to actually draw what it would look like, or to depict the kind of damage it would do. In my specific case, it would be used against a ground target.

No, I'm going to get a PhD, and get into theoretical physics so I can develop and test it myself. There's already a big ripe target in the east. Well, more than one.

i dunno, maybe they would still want to occupy this lousy rock, and so churning up the crust and the air with space rocks just to snuff the bald apes out isn't exactly a viable occupation strategy.
