What do you think the weapons of WW3 (if there is one) will be?
Will the weapons be ones never heard of, or never thought of before?
Post your ideas here....

maybe it will be tommorow the day after that. they will probably use present day weapons, or a bit more advanced than we have now but not futuristic

Well if it happends tommorow, all tools of modern warfare. If ICBMs (Nukes for the kiddies) dont start the war, it will be fought conventionally. Tanks, planes, infantry, what have you. All will be used and echausted.

Why does everyone expect this to be futuristic? The last world wars were only 20 years apart from each other.

but the leap in technology was HUGE.

Yes, that is true, Efan. Although, don't forget that there could be "Mega Man'' and stuff like that. There could be like, nukes you can hold or something... Oh yeah, that blow up like for an hour or something... Just crazy thoughts... LOl keep up the commenting...

Hmm... then my science teacher lied to the whole class


Minor radiation poisoning, which results from exposure to a nuclear blast, has been shown to cause cancer, however cancer is also a naturally occurring condition and has most likely been around for as long as multicellular organisms. Cancer is nothing more than the uncontrolled replication of cells, which when unchecked, can create tumors.

This reminds me of Einstein's quote.


That's always my WWIII quote

but the leap in technology was HUGE.


Not the basic technology though, we still used planes, ships, and bullets. If another world war occurs it will depend what sort of group we are fighting against if nuclear weapons are used or not.I'd wager that in a conflict with other countries more conventional warfare would be applied but if we're fighting terrorist groups I would suspect the use of nuclear weapons.

Maybe anther WW3 has started, and were just using commandos and such people who work in the shadows and have a large effect.

That, my friend, will be the weaponry of WWIV.

Actually that's a somewhat decent point. What technically defines a world war?

I would say the worlds super powers at war but

Noun 1.world war - a war in which the major nations of the world are involved-

We really have been involved in a 'world war' continuously since shortly after the conflict in Vietnam. Most of the major world powers have been engaged in conflicts since then, most notably in the Middle East and Korea, and for a nearly consistent period of time. While not to the scale of the previous wars, the conflicts have been continuous.

The issue with our current society is that one major nation attacking another has reached a point to where it is completely futile, and almost no one would even entertain such ideas. Now it is small, continuous conflicts, mostly against smaller, multinational groups operating against major powers through terrorism.

I guess it could be considered since virtually every major nation is running operations against terrorism.

Wouldn't that be more of a World Counter Terrorism Initiative though? It would be very difficult to define the correct conflicts as a World War simply because they aren't massive in scope; however, they very well might be representative of a World War.
