World's 5 Incredible Ancient Weapons

The Israelis used slings in WW2 to throw hand grenades

Conquistadors in their metal plate and helmets against the primitives. Said primitives mostly used clubs... And physics cared not for their metal marvels.

Trebuchet is French and pronounced Tray-boo-shay

32 - 50 rocket arrows isn't a minigun at all. Kpinga's with a handle aren't guaranteed to hit with an edge and most shown are made of steel.

In your video, the picture depicting Chinese soldiers actually shows them wearing bamboo hats? Won't you check what ancient Chinese helmets look like? Generally speaking, a bamboo hat is a form of racial discrimination against Asians because it is a stereotype that no one in real history likes to wear except for farmers

Continuous firing crossbow technology was created by Korea before China

Beautiful informations , thank you friend

You can imagine a type of combustion engine mix of greek fire substance with gasoline spitting via the first time making gasoline out of petroleum from a lost civilization in a wood made cannon basically like how a dragon would breath fire with masks to cover the face like fire breathing cavaliers flanking armies

The Kpinga is NOT Libyan. it is from central Africa. The Kpinga was created by the Zande. They were classed as "Court Metal", being produced under the patronage of the Avongara clan, distributed only to professional warriors, and considered status symbols. It was also part of the dowry that a man must pay to the bride's family. Soldiers would carry three or four Kpinga into battle, hidden behind their shields. They were typically thrown at the enemy from(30 ft) away.

Both chu-ko-nu and Chinese crossbow were used in combination, normally a Chinese crossbow would have better percision and range, this was a first approach, chu-ko-nu was smi auto crossbow shooting arrows with short ammout of time, giving eneuf time to Chinese crossbow to reload, like medieval europe, Crossbows first shooting, then archers to cover fire filling with arrows the battlefield intercalated, Portuguese firearms, and crossbow intercalated first firearms, since are deadlier but slower reloading, crossbows to cover and good accurancy aswell, the japanese learned from portuguese in tatics when Oda Nobunaga traded with portuguese traders to use firearms first, then other ranged weapon to cover the firearms reloading, making like terços paliçades and traps to slow cavalry advance and yari ( spearmen) to hold at front line.

Obsidian may cut in mulecular level but there is a downside, it shaters easier, since the steel made of conquistador weaponry, were carbonsteel wich made more durable since when hitting the steel would bend and flexible getting back to its stage distributing the strength of the impact to all blade, the impact of the obsidian equipment were sturd and sharp but the shock impact of the blow would easier shatter those vulcanic stones, true effectiveness of the Aztecs were the ambush tatics, the jaguar skin, would made soldiers move stealthier since jaguar skin is good to adapt to enviorement and nightraidings of the Aztec jaguar warriors thats what made spanish conquistadors fear since when a encampment has a good number of effective troops sleeping its easier to get overhelmed with numbers specially when those numbers have stealth to take units from watch posts, sleeping soldiers wear no armour, so made even easier targets.
In open fields the most effective tatics of the Aztecs even in sieges were suprise atacks from stealth and traps, holes with wild animals, spicked traps to maim and infect units, causing fear and morale battering, flint arrows from bows and javelins from atl - atl (stone aged javelin thrower).

The movie "Missouri Breaks "Brandos character throws a stick like a "kpinga"with four pointed sticks lashed together to form a star.He kills rabbits on the run and men with it.😊.

But the Chinese only made fireworks...

Don't forget about KERIS.

What is the movie called "gold" about discovering americas? I wasn't able to find it on google, maybe the name was different?

I wouldn't blame King Edward for refusing the enemy's surrender - you can't just stop after spending so much time and effort building your giant toy.

The Romans had a magazine fed crossbow.

Maw-kwah-hweetle, Macuahuitl, beautiful, I am sad my people were brought to near extinction.

I just want to know how you got away with calling them queer ass lol 😂😂😅

Octagonal is not hexagonal, even for rocket launchers.

the TV show deadliest warrior is not a trusth worthy information source.

How do you pronounce trebuchet 4 different ways 😂😂😂

You don't pronounce the final T in Trebuchet, pronounce it like Trebuchay.

lets be honest tho, in chraftmanships honor, the Trebouchet was not simple,
it may look like it for some today, but going into how it actually works its rather complicated and even more so due to the share size of them,

Anyone knows about some medieval movies it’s my fav type and it’s kinda hard to find many of them these days

Damn

I’m sadly unsurprised that an American would make a video talking about trebuchets without knowing or at least learning the correct pronunciation 😐

Queerass? really

"The conquistadors underestimated this weapon, which later became the Spanish conqueror's main fear". That's bullshit. A very repeated myth from an only source in one of our chronicles. The most feared weapon in the Aztec's arsenal was indeed, the sling. It was waaaaay more mentioned than the macana, as we call the Aztec obsidian sword-axe today (and no, the 'macuahuitl' wasn't understimated either, proof is that quote so very often mentioned).

So many movies describes David wrong he wasn't a boy he was 29 years old.
He ruled Isreal at the age of 30 and the king before him only ruled for 2 years

Greeks Used Flamethrower during times of byzantine empire.

Tippu Sultan of Mysore in India used Rockets (sticks filled with gunpowder) to work as missiles.

Maybe im not the only one who said this but the Aztec sword is pronounced mac-kwa-wit but any way is fine😊

Now I know were Jürgen guy got hes idees 😂

the Kpinga is from central Africa

Where the hell is greek fire?

David was a shepherd, they used slings to hunt wolves or scare them off the sheep. His older brothers and dad were soldiers so he knew just how important skirmishes were, so david killing goliath actually makes perfect sense, vut it shocking everybody there is utterly ridiculous cos they all knew how deadly and accurate a could slinger was. So the latter part of the story was pure crap

The shooter would be able to fire half a hundred arrows at a time....
What not say 50 arrows at a time?
Interesting video though....

Although it is not well known, Japanese samurai also modified firearms purchased from Portugal to make a 20-round repeating firearm. Unfortunately, they were too heavy to be useful.

obsidian is sharp but very fragile , steel armor will shatter the obsedian blade. To lightly armored units or un armored its devastating.

David killed Goliath using a bullet not a stone .. FBI need to investigate it

You got me

Salahadin did make the giant sling in 1187

so the trebuchet is the cause of the black plague?

for the wood and obsidian blade, it could probably decapitate a horse if the horse was running at the wielder, and the wielder would step to the side and strike the horses neck, and then that's how it probably cut of the horses head in one blow.
