What weapon do you think is more dangerous? A nuclear powered attack sub that can launch long range nuclear missiles from under water or an invisible suit(that no one knows exists) that when worn, makes you invisible to the human eye as well as all other forms of detection devices (radar, heat-sensors, etc.)?


EDIT:

Invisible suit makes no sound and is invisible to infrared?

Yeah. When you wear it, nothing can detect it. You know those generic lasers in heist movies that protect the jewels? Those lasers pass right through it like glass. =P
It also has built in sound mufflers so if were jumping up and down, unless the boards were creeky, you wouldn't make any noise.

 

[ShadowRed]

I'd say an invisible multi-nuclear attack sub is more dangerous that both of them.

 

[kumanoki]

Dangerous to whom?

A country? The nuclear sub.

A high school girls' gymnastics team? The invisible suit.

 

[Dilbert]

Clearly the invisible suit.

(I'm extra-proud of that pun.)

Don't worry, they're just going to defect.

 

[Dilbert]

See, I disagree with that. Information is power, and with an invisible suit, you could know virtually ANYTHING about your enemy. We already have nuclear subs, and the reason they are so dangerous is that no one knows where they are, or how to communicate with them. If their locations, launch codes, comms frequencies, etc. were known, you could fake orders which would cause those subs to attack ANYONE.

So yeah, like I said...the invisible suit wins.

 

[pestul]

Bah, they'd have sensors that can detect when there's too many bodies in the room anyway..

Or you'd sneeze or fart.. *digustingly huge fart* "Ahh.. shit. Well, it was worth the effort wasn't guys?".

Oh HELL yeah. I'd love to get my payload inside her defenses....yum!

P.S. Don't tell Kobe, 'kay?

invisible suit

I could sneek into the pentagon and launch all of the US's nukes

 

[Vgamer]

What about sensors that detect heat that would make the invisible suit useless.

Bah. The original post said it's immune to heat sensors! =P

Invisible suit.

You could blow up cities and never hit the real power behind a government. With an invisible suit, you can track them and eliminate them one by one without killing any civilians.

That's completely ignoring the espionage potential. A nuclear warhead has none of that.

 

[LakeEarth]

Meh, just recruit a ghost. You get best of both worlds.

Nuclear warhead leads to no effort. Everyone and everything gone. Its the lazy mans choice

 

[aaaaa0]

Just make sure you don't cross the street and get hit by a bus while wearing it.

 

[Kuramu]

Invisible Suit... countries with the sub are unlikely to use them, as we've already seen. The suit would definitely be used.

You could detect a person in an invisible suit with a simple bathroom scale btw

 

[MC Safety]

Ah, the suit is always susceptible to invisibility's greatest nemesis: the paint bucket thrown by the plucky hero. Or the snowfall. Or the puddle of water.


I'll take the sub.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

You obviously opted for an economy model invisible suit.

 

[Manics]

Wow, just think of all the close up spying you could do on Britney Spears with the invisible suit on...

In absolute terms: The Sub.
In practice: The Suit.

The Sub can single-handedly devestate a nation in an instant. The Suit takes considerably more effort to duplicate the same effect. The Sub, however, only has that one setting/use. The Suit is a conventional "weapon" with degrees of usefulness... so in practice, would be more readily used.

It's similar to if I put you in a room with your grade-school bully and a pro-boxer and asked, "Who would cause you more pain?" Obviously the pro-boxer has a greater potential to cause you pain, but if he were to strike you full-power, he'd lose his right to box, possibly kill you and end up in prison regardless. He's got little to gain and a lot to lose hitting you. The bully, on the other hand, fears no real reprisals for his lower-grade pain.

Invisible suit won't get you anywhere if there's a locked door.
And I'm sure once it's discovered people will install sonar.

The point is for it not to be discovered. If noone knows you're there, you can walk right in behind someone when the locked door is open.

Someone's working on the invisible suit. Looks kinda crappy right now:

Echolocation!
Sonar!

The sub is more deadly.

An invisible suit is worthless, because in order to be invisible to the naked eye would mean light can't pass in or out. So the wearer wouldn't be effectively blind. That's why the predator in the Predator movie saw in infrared.
Course, by being invisible to heat-sensors, the suit would have to cool the wearer down (dangerous) or have a layer that is room temperature but not freezing the wearer. Thus, seeing in infrared is useless because the cold layer would block its infrared sensors.

 

[Manics]

Yeah but will Britney really have that installed in her dressing room?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Echolocation!

Sure, and a light saber wouldn't be very feasible either. But total undetectability is the term of this discussion.
