The Greatest Weapons in History #1 - The Pork Pie, and its variants

The Pork Pie was designed in 1878 by Charles Babbage as a means for killing buskers. It proved particularly successful, killing seventeen buskers within its first week on sale, as well as two chimney sweeps and a coach driver. Babbage retired on the profits and was knighted for his services to the empire in 1902. The Pork Pie, although almost perfect in its designed, has spawned many variants. One of the most successful is the Scotch Pie, which is made from 99% lard and has been known to kill a man within an hour of consumption.
