What are Some of the New Weapons?

Throughout history new and more powerful weapons have been introduced in each new war. And of course nations are always searching for more powerful and destructive weapons. This is continuing even now. Some of the latest weapons are the e-bomb, more powerful x-ray lasers, smart grenade launchers, smart bullets, robots of various types and more advanced types of drones. The e-bomb is of particular interest, and unlike most weapons it will cause little loss of life. It is a device that creates an electromagnetic pulse that generates high electrical currents which, in turn, destroy all electrical and electronic equipment. It could cripple a nation, or at least part of it, as all mobile units of any kind, including cars and airplanes would be stopped immediately by this pulse. Indeed, all the electricity in homes and factories would be stopped so all activity would quickly come to a standstill.
     Another new weapon is the "smart" grenade launcher, which is equipped with a laser range-finder and an on-board computer. It could be guided to its target using a laser beam. In the same way, "smart" bullets are also likely being worked on. They would be controlled and maneuvered in flight using a tiny computer guidance system. And of course there are drones and robots. They are being improved significantly, and no doubt will be used extensively in future wars. In fact, the day may come where most of the fighting will be done by drones and robots.
