I believe that due to the slowness of production of such weapons, many ww1 guns were used. Most noticably the vickers.

Well, that british gun was used all the way until the 60's. Now isn't that strange? lol
Heck, the mg 42, which is now known as the mg 3, is still in service.

the m2 browning has been in use since ww1.
in ww1, it was fielded as an anti-tank machinegun, in ww2, it was mostly used against aircraft
and now...
we blow peoples' heads off with it >:)

LOL! I was thinking the same thing as I read this thread; that I've used pretty much all of these weapons in one game or another.
"MG-42 !!!! On the 2nd floor!!" Sound familiar?

Lol. Funny. One of the first anti tank weapons was a Gehwer rifle bullet with the blunt end forward. But that just random...

I think the point of the flat part was the same as the concept of the old HESH tank round. The shell (or bullet) flattens on on the armor on the outside whist breaking loose a large chunk on the inside, banging around the inside killing the crew. In theory.

Noooo...I'm pretty sure 'in theory' nukes are supposed to be harmful. =D

nukes use extensive explosive theory. (mostly learned from the halifax explosion.)
the bomb is detonated several kilometers in the air. the blast travels in all directons and impacts the ground. the blast bounces of the ground and moves laterally causing even greater damage.
the explosion displaces so much air, and creates so much heat that it creates it's own low presshure system. air rushes in causing a secound and equally powerfull blast wave heading towards the explosion. this shockwave carries dirt and debris towards the low presshure system, wich rises due to it being a lower pressure than the onrushing air. the debris is carried up and fountains through the top of this "mushroom cloud" as the debris falls out the top it is sucked back into the low presshure system causing a cycle. here's a diagram.
you don't need a nuclear bomb to create a mushroom cloud. gasoline explosions have a tendancy to generate enough heat to make a small cloud. as would a large amount of TNT like the bombs used at the sommes.
