The Nazis had a tornado gun. Yes the freaking Nazis had a freaking TORNADO Gun! It's known as the Vortex Gun. Designed by researcher Mario Zippermayr, the gun made turbulence to take down planes. The idea was that even the strongest planes can't withstand a large amount of turbulence. So the gun would create this turbulence by generating a tornado in the air. So the big question is, did it work? Well, yes. The gun did create a tornado, but only in perfect conditions. If the weather was off, if it was raining, if there was too many clouds, it wouldn't work. So the Nazi higher ups decided to stop production. In the process ruining the dream of pulp authors everywhere.
