9. The web death game? This just sounds like a napalm knockoff with explosion.

"Napalm became a necessary weapon of every modern military force, even though its consequences were among the most inhumane. The effectiveness of the weapon overruled its cruelty. In fact, napalm caused carbon monoxide poisoning when used on enclosed environment which wasn’t directly hit by fire. The effects of carbon monoxide were well known after the end of WWII, as it was one of the main gasses used for poisoning concentration camp victims.

Out in the open, napalm caused severe burns all over the body, burns which were far worse than the ones caused by fire in general. Human skin becomes covered with viscous magma that resembles tar. Napalm causes wounds that are too deep to heal. In contact with humans, it would immediately stick to the skin and melt the flesh. There is no way to put the fire out, except by smothering it, which causes unbearable pain. In panic, many victims would try to wipe it off, but this only causes the fire to spread, expanding the burn area."

It is 2022 compared to 1960's. I would expect some improvements in barbarity in 50 or 60 years. Also in 1980 the UN tagged use of Napalm around civilians a war crime.

Yes the Russian weapon is awful but I don't get saying it is "way" worse than anything used by the US in Vietnam.

Oh wait we still use versions:
