STUPID INVENTIONS


Curved Barrel Machine Gun, 1953


 
The 20th century saw many astounding technological innovations
The automobile revolutionized the way people live and work
The internet changed the way people think about information
and the U S put a man on the moon. But some technological
advances that came in the earlier part of the 20th century weren't
exactly meant for the history books, Because they were stupid.
Take for example, this M3 sub-machine gun with the curved barrel
for shooting around corners. It's the perfect gun for the "shoot first
and look where you're shooting later" kind of guy.
