Weapons of whatever kind, have been used by humans from the beginning of time as an aid for carrying out some human activities such as cutting, slicing, killing, etc. fast and easily. Research tells us that as far back as five hundred thousand years ago, the early men who inhibited the earth created hunting spears to hunt animals and also protect themselves from dangerous animals.
They were made by simply fixing/attaching a sharp stone to a thick stick. But as evolution takes place, and mindsets has also changed, the make of weapons improved to become more efficient, deadly and even sophisticated. Today, weapons are not only made for protection but also for mass destruction.
We all know that it is legal for the military, forcemen and any security body to carry weapons such as gun in public, but for certain reasons, we are not all permitted to move around with weapons on the streets.
Anyways, let me save you the long story and show you the list of top 10 Baddest guns in the world. These guns have been ranked level of damage they can cause, their range, effectiveness, number of rounds, and efficiency. Feel free to tell me your thoughts about my review below.

My Final Thought
These were the top 10 baddest guns in the world (most dangerous weapons acctually). This list is subject to change as time goes on because we know that technology is on the rise daily. On a second thought, different individuals prefer using different guns, and even the expertise in handling a simple gun can prove to be lethal.
Which is the No 1 weapon in the world?
Of course, nuclear weapons surpass all other weapons made to date, because they have enormous destructive power and can cut down an entire city and a large part of the population, and radiation after a nuclear attack would be present for decades.
Is AK-47 the best gun in the world?
The AK-47 is the deadliest weapon ever built, on the whole. Its kill count even tops nuclear weapons in sheer numbers. But the first AK-47s were very heavy and weren’t really built for aiming.
