 Changing Preconceptions of the Nuclear Terrorism Threat: A Case Study of the Aum Shinrikyo Cult
The Aum cult did not limit itself to the development of chemical weapons; the acquisition of biological and nuclear weapons was on their agenda as well.
Because of the group's diverse efforts at attaining nuclear weapons, the Aum Shinrikyo cult is an excellent illustrative case of the possibilities for nuclear terrorism.
For a terrorist group, however, "delivery is a simple matter of transporting the weapon to the target area."20 In place of a missile attack, a terrorist group is more likely to use improvised means such as a truck, a boat, or commercial aircraft.

Israel is considering using an unusual new weapon against Jewish settlers who resist this summer's Gaza Strip evacuation — a device that emits penetrating bursts of sound that leaves targets reeling with dizziness and nausea.
Dark Horse Constructs has borrowed from a method of mounting machine guns in WWII to develop a solution to the problem of quickly getting a good stock "weld" when wearing an armored vest, and for replacing the sling as a means to free up both hands.
But, if the weapon was made light enough (via high tech synthetics) and powerful enough (via payload rounds or lasers eventually), it might offset the awkwardness of trying to maneuver with it.

Arguably a wonder weapon existed well before the end of the war in the form of a jet powered interceptor that was 100 mph (240 km/h) faster than any allied plane.
The sixth prototype (Ar 234 V6) which flew on April 8, 1944 had four jet engines instead of the normal two, demostrating the promising possiblities of such an arrangment.
The ninth prototype incorporated retractable tricycle landing gear and was the first Arado 234B, the aircraft making its maiden flight in March of 1944.

The Third Reich's last ditch efforts to sweep the massed Allied bomber formations from the skies of Germany centred around the new crop of jet 'wonder weapons' that were issued to the Jagdwaffe from mid-1944 onwards.
Despite the facts that the Luftwaffe had flown a jet prototype in August 1939 and the first practical jet fighter (the Me-262) by July 1942, the Germans squandered their technological advantage by not beginning to form operational units until 1944.
The authors include appendices listing all Luftwaffe jet aces, a table of victories claimed by each unit and the order of battle for jet units in May 1945.
