Emeici

     This weapon is from the Chinese. A weapon used with kung fu skills. It is just a small stick with arrowheads on each end. Its swiftness and small sized is unique because it provide quick attack for the holder. The weapon is much more subtle and concealable than any other sword or bladed weapon. The Chinese martial arts is famous for their quick and swift attack. The enemy would not notice that they are in danger before its too late. It is not a weapon made for slicing but for stabbing.Its simplicity and deadliness is why the weapon is unique.

Macuahitl

We have seen The Soviets, Germans, even African weapon. This is from a different civilization. This weapon is called a Macuahitl. It was made by the Aztecs. According to Aztecs military strategy, archers attack incoming enemy first. After they have run out out arrows and darts to shoot, warriors carrying these macuahitl comes out to initiate close quarter battles. Aztec warriors carry along defensive objects such as armors, shields and also head gears. The weapon was carved using oak into a cricket bat shape and sharp obsidian blades placed in the edges of the weapon. The weapon is not effective to kill as the blades are not fatal. It can mostly gash and slice enemy's skin but the wounds would not be too deep. It is also not used for stabbing

Hunga Munga

This is a Hunga Munga. This weapon was named by the African tribes south of Lake Tchad. This weapon was called differently in other tribes. For example, it was called Danisco, Goleyo and Njinga.. This weapon can be used for hand to hand combat and can also be thrown in a spinning action. the multiple blades makes it have a better chance in penetrating through the skin. Like other weapons, it comes in different shapes and sizes. This weapon was not known of its effectiveness but because of its uniqueness in terms of its shape. Not many people are aware of this weapon but it started became known when the series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" came to television. It was a weapon used by Buffy from time to time to fight vampires and demons.

Arbalest

     This piece of machinery is called the Arbalest. It is also known as a Ballista. This weapon looks like a crossbow, works like a crossbow only its 10 times bigger than the usual crossbow. This weapon loads javelin weighing up to 10 pounds. Because of its huge in size, the Ballista could not be pulled by hand. The string is pulled by a simple wheel mechanism that reduces the force used to pull the strings. Ballista was also invented wagon mounted. This made the Ballista become easier to move around when attacking. The Ballista is considered as a siege weapon because of the destruction it could cause to buildings.

Exploding Rats

This is another unique weapons that consist of blowing up an animal. This time, its not dogs that blows up, but rats. These rats are equipped with explosives.  What makes this weapon capture my attention is that the application of this weapon seems to be very discreet. Explosive rats' main purpose is to destroy enemy's boilers. The explosive rats are put together with the coals to heat the boiler. When the rats are shoveled into the fire, it will explode, damaging the boiler. Effective for secret missions and also sabotaging missions. As brilliant as the weapon might be, it was never officially used.

Anti-Tank Dogs

     This is an Anti-Tank Dog. It is basically a dog, strapped with explosives and trained to go under enemy tanks. A trigger was strapped to a dog's body so that when the dog goes under a tank, the trigger will be pushed and the bombs strapped to the dog will explode. This means sacrificing the dogs. This idea of weaponry was used by the Soviets. When the idea came up, the Soviets started training dogs to go under enemy tanks. The training includes starving the dogs and putting meat under tanks so that they are familiar with what they have to do. Although it is effective against tanks, it uses animal cruelty and is not acceptable. The usage of animal is what makes the weapon unique
