"The World's Worst Weapons"

The World's Worst Weapons: From Exploding Guns to Malfuctioning Missles (Martin Dougherty)

Cousin of The World's Worst Cars, here's, well, you can guess from the title, right? I enjoyed this book a good bit - the sheer depth of weapons covered from throwing stars to nuclear howitzers kept it moving nicely. My one complaint is that there are some strange choices in here; Seeing the mighty Stuka included here is a bit strange, but what really takes the cake is the legendary AK-47 being inducted as one of the world's worst weapons. I know that this is just the author's opinion and that you can't subjectively say that it is wrong, but, it's wrong. Other than that, good book.
