The weirdest weapons in history include a military-grade stink bomb, a pistol disguised as a tube of lipstick, and earthenware pots filled with venomous snakes. Erin breaks down those weird weapons and more in this episode of The List Show.
"Weird weapons" is obviously a subjective term, but we think each of these weapons (whether deployed or just proposed) have something strange enough about them to merit inclusion on this list. We'll even cover a "dog doo transmitter," which isn't a weapon at all, but does have the words "dog doo" featured prominently in its name.
In case you forgot, The List Show is a trivia-tastic, fact-filled show for curious people. Subscribe here for new Mental Floss episodes every Wednesday: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpZ5qUqpW4hW4zdfuBxMSJA?sub_confirmation=1
