In the dark days of WWII (the part before America moseyed on in and just totally saved everybody, all by themselves, no foolin')
:bhead

In 1940, a man named David Stirling came up with a plan to fight the Nazis in North Africa: Drive American Willys Jeeps hundreds of miles across uncharted desert while evading Axis patrols, sneak up on a Luftwaffe Airfield in the middle of the night, and wreck the place on foot. Nobody said it was a good plan. It's like somebody went through an actual strategy and replaced every instance of the word "tactical" with "balls out."
But astoundingly, it worked fine, for a bit.
Eventually, though, the Germans upped the security on their airfields. So the SAS took a cue from Compton, and incorporated the mother of all drive-bys. They'd take up to half a dozen heavy machineguns pilfered from Allied aircraft, and strap them to their jeeps, resulting in these wildly over-powered, cartoonish gun platforms: That is a vehicle comprised entirely of guns, ammo, gas, water and poor impulse control.
Not even radiator grills survived the strip down. Using these old-timey Twisted Metal characters, Stirling and company would tear bellybutton past an Axis airbase in the dead of night, all guns blazing with tracer rounds, and presumably high-five as the world exploded around them. After that it was just a matter of getting as far away as possible before the remaining ground attack aircraft could get airborne. Hopefully they saved their turbo power-ups, instead of making the rookie mistake and just grabbing all the fireballs.

I liked this one too. The idea was to make a police car so cheap that the city can afford to wreck it in a high speed chase.

How about The M65 280mm Atomic Cannon - Nuclear Artillery Test

Atomic Annie was an awesome piece of hardware but it did have a major drawback. It couldn't throw the weapon far enough to keep the crew from being irradiated; still cool though.

Heh interesting view on history on the last account: "The brits were too far to supply weapons and the russians didn't give a damn"
Considering the russians made a pact with the nazis to split and share poland.
