Weapon's Builders With Good Intentions

The Gatling gun was made by a man who guess what his last name was Gatling. Dr. Richard J. Gatling invented the Gatling gun which was basically the precursor to modern day machine guns. Dr. Gatling had good intentions when he invented the Gatling gun, he wanted to make it so that not as many people were required for an army to produce the same amount of fire power. With smaller armies Dr. Gatling hoped that there would be less causalities and hoped that he would help people to realize how futile war is.

Alfred Nobel the founder of the Nobel Prize made the money that perpetuates the Nobel prize by inventing something that if used for his desired purpose was extremely useful, dynamite. On the other hand though there are many times that his invention was not used for its desired purpose and instead was used as part of a weapon during war time. Nobel did not like this he invented it to be safer than its predecessor nitroglycerin and it was but it also allowed people to use dynamite as a weapon to cause massive destruction. Nobel didn't want to be remembered as the man who invented dynamite and so he set up the nobel prize to help people who were trying to do good in the world
