Difficult to say. It would have to be one of the NBC weapons of mass destruction (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical). Just my personal opinion, I would have to say a Biological weapon. Both Nuclear and Chemical weapons are inherently self limiting, their damage is massive but there is an end to it. Biological weapons can grow and reproduce and spread, eventually killing both original opponents and all noncombatants and neutrals.

What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
