27: ๐Ÿ” Foam guns to chicken bombs: stupid weapons from history

War is never nice but sometimes it drives people to their extremes. In desperation to gain the upper hand all logic and rational thought is flung out the window and insane proposals for weapons are put forth. From dropping cakes seeded with anthrax on herds of cows to bats with bomb-backpacks and giant siege towers to expanding foam guns mankind has devised some odd and, letโ€™s be honest, terrifying devices. Join Anton and myself as we travel through time discovering some of the strangest.
