Moab
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOAB Yeah now this a bomb. Why bunker bust with the little toys when you can whip out the big gun. I don't think they used any of these in Iraq, although I am sure with such a massive bomb the generals were just itching to find some reason to use it.

Hehe
We used the "Mother of All Bombs" in Afghanistan once..its like the Vietnam era daisy cutters on roids
 Pretty nice for clearing an area for a landing strip of vegetation/insurgents The British 22,000 pound "Grand Slam" actual was one of the first pentrating bombs. Used in 1945 against the Bielefeld railway viaduct in Germany, which was not destroyed by the thousands of pounds of bombs dropped by B17's, the Grand Slam penetrated the ground next to the said viaducts, created small seismic activity, and collapsed them. It was known as "the earthquake bomb." Pretty cool stuff, all this weaponry. This new German self propelled gun is pretty impressive. The PzH 2000, or Panzerhaubitze can fire 10 to 13 rounds per minute with its autoloading mechanism Thats more quickly than soldiers could fire aimed shots with bolt action rifles in WWI!Leave it to the Germans

I used to work with a guy who thought those things weren't that big. It turns he used to set off hydrogen bombs in the South Pacific.
