The Minuteman III nuclear weapon system. I loved the 5 years I was doing that in Montana. Many of my peers thought I was crazy for liking it so much. DEUCE!!!

There's actually only one weapon, or perceived weapon in the AF and I never used it because if it fails, it can never regain power. The weapon used most is fear. Constant threat of losing your job or Award or God forbid the almighty, more important than life promotion. I had that fear when I first started, maybe two years in. Once you get over it, they have nothing. They can't threaten you anymore. The real power that very few people know how to utilize is true loyalty that is actually earned and has zero to do with rank. Imagine me as a capt mopping the floor along with an airman. Yeah, I got some weird looks from both sides which is truly disgusting. I know who I am and what I stand for. If someone relies on their rank for respect, they're nothing but a moron.

As an amphibiious tractor driver and crewchief in Vietnam for 18 months .. a vehicle that can be driven ANYWHERE under ANY conditions would be my top choice for a system I used in the military. As a civiliian lover of offroad excursions there have been times that I wished I had an amtrac so I could reach a spot I saw no other way to get there.
The 81mm Mortar System. Something about having my best friend as the assistant gunner, and myself as gunner manipulating 50 or so pounds together, while trying to keep bubbles level and the sight on target is magical. When that first round drops into the tube, and the baseplate sinks into the ground, the only thing better is seeing the smoke coming from the target.

I was a 31V radio system operator and mechanic so I would have to say my radio as with that I could call in strikes from the air and ground!

My M-1 carbine in Korea because it was small, light and easy to handle just like my Ruger 10-22 rifle today. I carried it with my 30 caliber machine gun by myself when required. I can hit anything with my 22 Ruger (rapid fire or not), it would have made an excellent weapon when I served.
