56 Wacky Weapons

From Injury-Inducing Engagement Rings to Weaponized Classical Instruments

— July 12, 2012 — Unique
Humans have proven themselves apt at attacking one another in the past, and the modern world builds on these concepts as evidenced by these wacky weapons. Whether you like them for the novelty, or you have more devious aims, these dangerous inventions are the most stylish way to raise your attack power.

Repurposing everyday objects like musical instruments and turning them into killer weapons is an inventive way to catch consumers’ eyes. It also works the other way around—taking everyday objects and adding weapon parts to them can make them a supremely stylish conversation piece to show to all your man friends.

For good or evil, humans have an undeniable interest in danger and power, and these wacky weapons play to those primal desires.
