Is it still classified? Is America using that weapon also in the battlefield in Afghanistan and Iraq? Do other nations also possess that weapon?

The most powerful and divisive weapon that any army has is to instil hate and contempt for the supposed ‘enemy’ into its personnel. It is backed up, of course by weaponry and the army machinery masquerading as ‘justice’. Now and again this machine chooses to sacrifice a few personnel for being caught demonstrating how they have been taught to think and behave. These ‘investigations’ are always made very public, so that the ‘Hate Machine’ can continue behind the scenes in secret. It’s classified … I shall not be surprised if I am mysteriously removed from Yahoo Answers for mentioning it. America and all other military powers possess and use that weapon.

I heard about the neutron bomb in the 1970′s. When it explodes, it leaves the building relatively un-harmed, but it strips the skin off living things and kills them in a pretty gruesome way.
I think USSR only has this one.
Your back up could always be biological weapons. Small Pox, anthrax, etc. And who knows which countries declare that they have these??!!

Antrax…

I don’t know if the A-Bombs or hydrogen bombs were considered nuclear or not. Other guesses that I would venture…napalm, agent orange (dangerous long term effects), I really don’t know what the most powerful would be.

The 19 year old American soldier. Born and raised with freedom in his heart, mind and soul tempered with fairness for all persons on earth.

The most powerfull weapon in the American arsenal are the politicians. Everytime they shoot off their mouths someone somewhere may die.

People are the most powerfull and the most Dangerous Weapon ever known. However, they are and will remain the most compasionate. They are no different than me or you. Just give them your support and our troops will make you proud to be American.

It’s the American soldier. Chemo-biological warfare may or may not kill effectively. Even when it does, it an aribtrary weapon. No control over WHO it kills. A team of Rangers, Seals, or Delta dropped from an aircraft has the capacity to find and take out every left handed redhead in a combat zone, if that’s what’s needed. Till we develope mustache seeking missiles, this will always be the case.

It’s the mindsets of our leaders and their willingness to use those weapons.

Well the USA have been using a 15,000 lb daisy cutter non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan. Its the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in out inventory.

If it was classified you wouldn’t get an answer. Most NATO allies have an version of the fuel-air explosive. It is a cylindrical bomb that has a small drogue parachute. The explosion rivals small tactical nukes. The movie Outbreak shows the bomb wiping out a small African village to contain an hemoragic fever.
Space based kinetic weapons, although illegal, will be the ultimate in future weapons. Just ask the dinosaurs.

Terrorism is the weapon you have that is more dangerous than nuclear weapon. You use it to terrorize people who are in different religion, culture, politics and say no to your policies.
It kills hundreds of thousands of people, and still killing people and it is what is going to kill you if care is not taken.

You may be interested in this really big bomb: The MOAB. Commonly referred to as the Mother of All Bombs, the moniker actually stands for Massive Ordnance Air Blast.
It’s a huge 21,000 pound bomb that will really ruin someones day.
Cheers!

"An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.", Victor Hugo.
Besides nuclear weapons, the most dangerous and powerfl weapon known to humanity is the power of an idea whose time has come. Look at the concept of suicide terrorism, or democracy in Eastern Europe.
The US military had such an idea with Star Wars and it worked against the Soviet Union. Sadly though, I do not see the same level of intelligence from the current US Secretary of Defence in regards to the power of ideas. That is why the US arsenal of ideas againt global terrorist ideas has been so poor.
Total warfare includes philosophical warfare as well.

I’d have to say AK 47. A lot of people use it. It’s a good gun and doesn’t make that much sound. Also does a lot of damages.

I don’t know what it may be but my English drama teacher is so dangerous that she could be used as a weapon to protect America and the rest of the world.

I think they still have smallpox in a jar somewhere. That or some other Biological agent that could wipe out entire countries in very nasty ways
February 20th, 2011 at 7:59 am
Honestly, I think its the Powers of the Goverment ie. Presidents, World Leaders that are more dangerous, they are the ones to make the call.
Second, I would say the chemical warfare.

MOAB is large conventional high explosive bomb delivered out the rear cargo doors of a C-130 Hercules. If I remember correctly, the thing weighs about 20,000 lbs. and deploys a parachute to retard it’s descent. MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs) also referred to as "daisy cutter" as it is used to clear vegetation (including mature trees) from an area to allow helicopters to operate. It is fused to detonate at the correct height to allow the blast to completely clear a large area.

THE MOST DANGEROUS WEAPON IS A MARINE AND HIS RIFLE! OOH RAH!

Dunno.. But a single nuclear sub carries enough punch to turn 3/4 of the entire Iranian population into very fine ash.

The most powerful and dangerous weapon is the soldiers. The military created them to be protectors and killers for war. Then after are discharged, they are release into society like they are normal. Most soldiers has post stress syndrome and when they are put into certain situations they turn into combat mode and kill people.

Besides Nuclear Weapons? A Nuclear Attack Submarine. The world is 3/4 water. A sub can operate in most of it. They can attack targets on the surface, on the land, other subs, and collect intel. They are stealthy, quiet, operate independenly and can operate as long as food and supliies last. This versitility makes it the most powerful weapon. Other nations such as France and the Uk do have them as well.

The person pulling the trigger and it’s not classified.Every country has that weapon and you ruin lives, destroy dreams, change events and that is a very powerful weapon.
February 20th, 2011 at 7:59 am
A MARINE!

Chemical weapons like Vx and Sarin which can kill millions with a few drops from an eye dropper. They are horrible, in some regards even more so than nukes, because in many cases they are delivered in spray form and are subject to the vagaries of the wind. The biggest defect they have is that they breakdown relatively quickly. When found recently in Iraq, that were less than 20 yrs old and were useless. Our nukes have lasted some 40 yrs. Biological weapons have never worked large scale on the battlefield, breakdown in the UV light in sunlight.
