What were some of the major weapon advancements/inventions during World War 2? I'm looking strictly for weapons that were used on the ground, not in the air or sea.

No. Why would you assume that? I'm just simply asking for weapons that were used during World War 2 that had a big impact on the war. If you don't have any information helpful to the topic, then don't post.berkeman said:Do you want us to write your term paper for you?

During World War 2, there were several significant weapon advancements made by various countries. Some of the major ones include the development of the atomic bomb, the introduction of jet-powered aircraft, the creation of the first guided missiles, the use of radar technology, and the production of more advanced tanks and artillery.
The atomic bomb, which was first used by the United States in 1945, had a significant impact on the war. Its destructive power was unmatched and caused Japan to surrender, effectively ending the war in the Pacific. It also led to the beginning of the nuclear arms race and the Cold War.
Jet-powered aircraft, such as the German Messerschmitt Me 262 and the British Gloster Meteor, played a crucial role in World War 2. They were faster and more maneuverable than traditional propeller planes, allowing for quicker and more efficient bombing and combat missions. They also paved the way for modern aviation technology.
Radar technology, which was developed and used by both the Allies and the Axis powers, played a key role in World War 2. It allowed for early detection of enemy planes and ships, giving military forces more time to prepare and respond. It also aided in navigation and helped with bombing accuracy.
There were several major advancements in naval weapons during World War 2. These include the development of aircraft carriers, the use of submarines for strategic attacks, and the creation of more powerful and accurate naval guns. The use of sonar technology also greatly improved the capabilities of naval warfare.
