Because The Great War was the first war to mix conflict and industrial might some pretty strange things came out of the war.... so I decided to make a thread about it.

Here is the first one to start us off:



Overall not to bad of an idea, but lets turn it into an ethics question. Why? The slats in a tank are very small and you can't see much of the outside world and the fact that he is staring down a bush.... doesn't seem to effective.

Lets see all your strange technology from World War I!

I like seeing soldiers when they are using carrier pigeons, just the ethics that are being used here aren't the best. Lets also take into consideration that those pigeons were targets for the enemy troops and having latch to throw a pigeon out makes kinda easy for that pigeon to be shot quite quickly.

Actually having a latch the can be opened like that isn't the best idea at all considering all it takes is one guy with a grenade.

As a side-note someone should make a band called one guy with a grenade.

Now that I think about it we should have started with this one:



The worlds biggest tank also might just be the worst design when you add in its vulnerability to artillery fire.
