10. AIM-120 AMRAAM

It might not have the catchiest name you've ever heard, but the AIM-120 AMRAAM is a standard part of the arsenal of all the US's military aircraft. Whenever you hear that the US has conducted an airstrike, this is the missile that's been fired at the target.

They're also used in air-to-air combat situations. The US has made this missile available to 36 of her allies, although a new model will enter US military service in 2020.
