Officially know as the R9X Hellfire Missle variant. Unofficially dubbed the Ninja bomb. Strives to minimize collateral damage by not having any explosion. It instead uses six blades reminiscent of swords. Hence the name Ninja Bomb.
Rods from god is a theorized weapon that does not officially exist. In 2003 the US Air Force proposed project Thor. Since then this concept has been seen in the Call of Duty: Ghost games as well as GI Joe movie. This concept is known as kinetic bombardment.

America only utilizes three types of bombers: B2 spirit, B52 BUFF, and the B1 Lancer also known as the bone. The B1 is the fastest, and also has the highest payload capacity. Which begs the question, is the B1 the best?

PT boats, also known as patrol torpedo boats, are the most underrated ships of WWII. Commonly referred to as "devil boats" or "mosquito boats." They were the fastest and pounds for pound most heavily armed naval vessels of WWII. Form President JFK famously commanded PT boat 109.
M65 Atomic Cannon, also known as Atomic Annie, built during the Cold War. Only in service for a short time before being retired by the Davy Crockett weapon system.
The Davy Crockett weapon system is essentially a nuclear bazooka. Designed during the Cold War and it was probably the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. Using the W54 warhead it is the smallest tactical nuke launcher ever made! Capable of being mounted on a tripod or a jeep, making it the only Nuke Jeep. The Davy Crockett is also the inspiration the the Fat Man mini nuke launcher from the Fallout video game franchise.

The VAMPIRE system is a new American export that can turn any pick up truck into a mobile missile launcher in two hours. Designed to be a cheaper alternative to Javelin and Stinger missiles. Firing the "cheap" Hydra-70 rockets usually fired from attack helicopters like the Apache. As of 2022 America will export it to other countries as a form of military aid.
