  • Gatling Gun

    Gatling Gun
    The deliverable was a labour-saving device for warfare that would help minimise the number of men needed to fight a war and hence reduce the number of individuals who faced the brutality of war. The Gatling gun was unique in an age of slow loading rifles, the Gatling offered at the time “unprecedented firepower”. It was unique as no other weapon was designed quite like it before and after.

  • T-34 Tank

    T-34 Tank
    This project is unique because the KMDB would like to design a special tank that wouldn’t be destroyed by anti-tank weapons. Therefore, T-34 tank has used thicker armor than A-32 tanks and more powerful guns and more reliable transmissions. The outcome is when the T-34 tank appeared, the Nazis had few weapons to deal with this tank. Its 76mm gun could easily penetrate all the tanks of the German army at the same time.

  • The Mickey Mouse Mask – Official title: M2 Non-combatant Gas Mask

    The Mickey Mouse Mask – Official title: M2 Non-combatant Gas Mask
    The Mickey Mouse Gas mask as it came to be known was developed by the American's following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The US Government was concerned about the potential use of chemical weapons on the civilian population including children. Prior to this children's gas masks did not exist. It was intended that the masks would be less frightening for children to use.
    This project covers all project parameters as it was planned, temporary and unique. Fix: Time, Optimise: Cost, Accept: Quality
  • De Lisle Carbine

    De Lisle Carbine
    The De Lisle Carbine was a privately developed silenced weapon, initially designed for hunting but it's potential for clandestine military operations was soon recognised. The carbine design had to be modified to meet military requirements namely; "accurate, lethal, compact and quiet". It was used during the Second World War by the allied forces.

  • The Manhattan Project

    The Manhattan Project
    The deliverable was to develop a functional atomic bomb during World War II, something that had never been done before in history. It was started in response to fears that the German’s had been working on a similar nuclear weapon since the 1930s. The nuclear bomb being developed was the first of its kind and ushered in the atomic age. No other weapon had ever been designed until then. Fix: Quality

  • Avtomat Kalashnikova (AK-47)

    Avtomat Kalashnikova (AK-47)
    The purpose of this project deliverable is during World Wal II, they have decided to develop their own intermediate caliber fully automatic rifle. This project is unique because Mikhail designs this assault rifle for World Wal II with a stronger receiver and long heavy barrel. The outcome is this type of assault rifle has successfully replaced the weapon they mainly used during World Wal II. Fix- time, optimize- quality, accept- cost.
  • Z-9G

    Z-9G
    After the establishment of the Chinese army aviation force, there was no dedicated attack helicopter for a long time, and it could only provide fire support for the ground forces by adding weapons to the medium transport helicopters, but medium-sized helicopters are larger and less flexible. In 1998, a modification test for the installation of an unguided rocket launcher with the first flight and weapon compatibility test was carried on the same year.

  • WZ-10

    WZ-10
    It is a medium-sized armed helicopter designed by PLA Air Force. The main task of it is the fire support of the battlefield. It has multiple hanging points and double-sided racks,which can hang various kinds of weapons such as machine guns, rockets, anti-tank missiles, and air-to-air missiles. The release of WZ-10 ended the history of the PLA Army’s long-term dependence on helicopter modification and significantly improving the PLA’s assault ability.
