Are you kidding me? The Tiger was a potent tank, but due to its weight it had major problems finding bridges capable of supporting it, so it was equipped for deep wading to cross a river. It was also slow in cross-country operation due to being under-powered for its weight. It was at its best in a defensive position. Any weapon that is at its best in defense is not a brutal weapon.
The V-2 has been characterized by the British Imperial War Museum as a German mistake, and it definitely tied up a large number of German scientists and technicians that could have been used elsewhere. It could only attack city targets as it was too inaccurate to any sort of borderline more precise attack. It did make for a good terror weapon.
The B-29 was never used in Europe, so I am not sure why you are including it. While it could carry a 20,000 pound bomb load, the largest conventional bomb that it could carry in World War 2 weighed 2,000 pounds. The British Avro Lancaster could be modified to carry 12,000 Tallboy and 22,000 pound Grand Slam bombs. It was Tallboys that did in the German battleship Bismarck. Post-war, the U.S. modified the B-29 to carry the Tallboy, and some guided versions were used in the Korean War. The bombers that carried the atomic bombs had to have their bomb-bays modified to carry the bombs and all the arming officer access to them.
By the way, have you ever heard of incendiary bombs. On a weight for weight basis, against a flammable target, they were 5 times more effective than high explosive bombs. The single most destructive air attack in the war was the March 9, 1945 incendiary bomb attack on Tokyo that burned out 16 square miles of the city, and killed somewhere around 100,000 to 120,000 people. The bombs used were napalm filled, both cluster bombs and straight 100 pound bombs. Another type of incendiary bomb used a lot in Europe was a magnesium bomb of 4 pounds in weight that were carried in clusters. The Germans used them as they really could not spare the required fuel for napalm bombs. During the Korean War, the U.S. Air Force discovered that the most efficient way to taking out the North Korean tanks was catching them in a napalm bomb attack.
The MG42 was a good machine gun, and variants of it are still in use today, but calling that one of the most brutal weapons of the war is really stretching it far beyond its capabilities. In World War 2, artillery and mortars were the predominate killing weapons. Then you also had the German Bouncing Betty land mine, which when triggered basically fired a mortar shell into the air that detonated about 2 to 3 feet off of the ground, and was feared by Allied troops.
Now a really brutal weapon was the British Churchill Crocodile flame-throwing tank. The German did not like that one at all, and with its heavy armor and towed napalm tank, it was not the easy to stop. Then there was the use by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps of man-pack and tank-carried flamethrowers in the Pacific War against the Japanese. They were used in combination with demolition charges in the "blowtorch and corkscrew" tactic. Look online and you should be able to find footage of Japanese soldiers fleeing their bunkers on fire until they are shot down. Now those are brutal weapons as well.
At last thing, have you ever heard of the Battle of the Bismarck Sea in March of 1943 off of the northern coast of New Guinea. A troop reinforcement convoy for the Japanese positions on the north coast was caught by the U.S. and Australian air forces and all eight transport and 4 of the escorting destroyers were sunk. The Allied air crews were ordered to strafe and bomb the survivors in the water, as were two U.S. Navy torpedo boats. About 3,000 Japanese were killed out of the 6900 troops being transported. The Japanese were absolutely stunned that the Allies would carry out such a ruthless attack.
