Why the Thompson? The Discovery Channel must just pull this stuff out of a hat.

what about the m1 grand?

and human body? hmm, well thats kind of a weapon.

What about the crossbow or the seige weapons?

Crossbows were actually a very poor weapon slow rate of fire, weak power, and short distance, and the show was about hand held weapons not seige weapons, and by human body they mean Martial arts. The Thompson was there because it was the first small portable one man machine gun. The M1 Grand probably didn't make it because of its jamming problems and you couldn't reload a clip till it was empty.

4-Barret 50. Cal

I really hope they ment the browning 50. cal machine gun. Cause that is an awesome weapon.

No it was the Barret 50.cal sniper rifle

Jamming? You want to talk about jamming. Try the AK-47, the M1 Garand is the rifle that helped save the world, first semi-auto.

The Thompson isn't a one man machinegun, it's a sub-machinegun and there where more sub-machinegun's before the Thompson.

The Dicovery Channel sucks at picking weapons.

This and the best tank thing were just on Discovery Channel too!

The browning .50 cal should be on that list.

No garand, no care

no nuke, no care,

no tiger tank, no care

and the boomerang, wtf?
