I kind of like those flying tanks that the USSR supposedly tried but failed to make. The idea is just really silly.

The MacAdam Shield Shovel is a fun one and on the more on the side of just a poorly conceived idea. A spade with a swivel and a hole in it so you could dig with it or use it as a shield. Mostly used only by the 1st Canadian Division in the early stages of WWI and was quickly abandoned by the Canadian and British Armed forces since it was effectively useless.

I saw this and laughed. It is quite possibly the funniest and coolest military vehicle i have ever seen. I mean look at it. Its an armored tricycle.

The USSR I believe. One of the more...stranger tanks they came up with. Tzar Tank as Galactic said.

The USSR not existed when the tank was built puts a hamper in that idea, the name should have clued you into that. The Tsar Tank was an early idea from the beginning of the war in the Russian Empire. The concept was scrapped when it proved to be useless against artillery.

My favorite weird weapon?

Well it would have to be this gun: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2mm_Kolibri

This gun was made during the Great War, but not alot of soldiers used it due to it only shooting tic tac bullets that couldn't kill anyone.

Now that thing is hilarious. Russia’s first attempt at tank making gone horribly wrong.

Well, it's the German plan for wood-powered vehicles. It worked.

Most likely XD that's what happens when you have a watch maker make guns for you.

I'd be better off throwing that shit at someone than firing it.

It wasn't made for the Austro-Hungarian government, and it certainly wasn't issued to soldiers. It was sold commercially at a time when pocket pistols were popular. And who better to make a little baby pistol than a watchmaker?
