Precison guided "smart-bombs" the MOHAD "mother of all conventional bombs", I'm pretty sure the hydrogen bomb and neutron bombs were made after WWII as well. There are also the modern day bunker-busting bombs which are being used in Iraq and Afghanistan now. There were also advances in guns and artillery as well. One of these include the M16, which was introduced in the Vietnam/Korean era. Others include advances in chemical and biological weapons, such as the Agents used in Vietnam (Orange, Blue, Yellow, Red, etc.), sarin, ricin, and nerve agents like VX and others.

Many weapons have been improved since WW2 - I'm not sure if you mean new since then. Weapons is also a broad category - there's cluster bombs, tomahawk missiles, the list goes on...

Hi. Most of them now in use. But the neutron bomb is probably the most diabolical.

My favorite is MOAB! Why haven't we used it in Iraq yet? I guess for the same reason we don't kill the enemy at a funeral, stupid right?
