Disappointed the first ranged weapon wasn’t “rock”.
😂😂😂
It was! The narration is not exactly accurate. He says humans started war 10000 years ago. We have been waging war waaaaay longer than that. Otherwise there will still be Neanderthals
Slingshots were used
“In the 21st century people don’t want to send entire generations to die in wars“
**2022 has entered the chat**
yeah it kinda sad thanks to mutually assured destruction now its all proxy war which is tragic
I’ve never heard of The Pilom but I made one for a hiking stick at least ten years ago. The Romans stole my idea.
Wew, lol
wait wait wait, the animals throws back your javelin?
No, because it’s a pilum, so the animals cannot throw it back
How does mongol compound bow miss this list
It's because whoever makes this documentary has bias perspective. As simple as that.
Because it is not considered as a western invention lol
*"How does mongol compound bow miss this list"*
Mostly because the Mongols didn't develop a compound bow... Compound bows were developed in the 1960s. Compound bows use pulleys and cams to allow a bow with a very high draw weight to be drawn with considerably less force than would be required for a traditional or recurve bow.
You probably meant to ask why the Mongolian _composite_ (or composite recurve) bow wasn't included on this list. This video clearly focused on western weapons, and they definitely mentioned the composite bows of Hungary. But, really, composite bows had less impact on warfare and weapon development than the longbow and the crossbow, not to mention the cultural significance of the English longbow. The greatest advantage granted by the recurve bow is that it could be used relatively easily from horseback or in a chariot. But neither of those things are much use against other people holed up in a fortification.
@@frocat5163 i wish they mentioned the atlatl because those were used for along time before the bow and were much more devastating then a normal spear.
@@frocat5163🤓
It always makes me laugh that so many of our weapons, from simple to the most advanced, are still mostly variants on and combinations of:
"Swing stick or swing rock."
"throw rock"
"Throw stick"
"Sharpened rock"
"throw sharpened rock on stick"
"Explody rock"
"throw rock that explodes and throws pieces of MORE rocks".
"Throw explody stick."
"Throw Sun stick."
Nice, but what about the crossbow?
Nothing has changed history more then the firearm.
I disagree with U abt tt, respectfully. Books hv changed the world more than any weapon.
Remember the saying, the pen is mightier than the sword. This is a true statement.😊
Fire, wheel, paper but the human mind is the most deadly weapon.
@@Scruples1 the deadliest weapon will therefore be an improved human mind ie AI or genetically engineered super men
Funny how the German guy fires musket after musket without any eye protection. Nostalgia, I guess.
Very nice docco.
a billion dollar rail gun will be taken out by a single quad copter
Pardon my ignorance but what is a rail gun and quad copter.?
N@@christinehaines1772....big toy ....little toy
Only if the ship carrying the quad to the region isn't destroyed by the rail gun from 250 miles out.
Drones are now being incapacitated by frequency jamming devices. The voltage involved in a rail gun would surely have enough kick to handle a drone.
It boils down to money. For example, one has a million dollar tank gets taken out by a hundred thousand dollar rocket. Do the financial math on that.
Wonderful video
Arrows vs Armour is in the chat.... 👀👀👀

There are no rules in War, never really have been, never will.
That "never will" part is quite naive to say, you really seem sure about knowing how the future will even approximately look like lol

What, then, is the Geneva Convention? It clearly designates Rules of Engagement after the debacle of WW1. Try to keep up. History didn't begin the day after you were born.
Um, yes there is. The Geneva convention outlines some rules and standards.
25... they died before 25? Really? Are we accounting for infant mortality? Or are we just throwing out numbers?
it has always been like that. what about hitler jugend
@tomasdelasota8581 Hitler was 56. The real answer as to why average lifespans were shorter in the past is infant morality. If you died while you were an infant but otherwise would normally live until you were 50, that makes the average lifespan what?
Shrink down your education life by only counting usable things, you get around 5-6 years of time to graduation. You get the idea

Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
You miss the BIG why Longbow win vs French Knight. BARRICADE and earthworks. Even a child can see that Knight with horse will ram those archer like butter.
Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched 00:01
You do not "fire" bow you shoot it. As to the suicidal blowing down the musket barrel deadly, in the next bit the narrator states firing the flintlock is two ignitions in a row often prone to malfunction, so if the flint fails to ignite the main charge of powder but a small spark enters the firing chamber but takes several seconds to complete the firing, known as a hangfire, and you are blowing down the barrel, deadly, I have known Hangfires to take as long as 30 secs by b lowing down the barrel you increase the spark and any powder in the barrel will explode. People under my command say that they need to do this to check that the barrel is clear of ball and powder, see the foolishness of doing this. The safest way to check for clearance is to use the Ventura Effect, as the gun is lowered from firing you give the gun a slight forwards/backwards movement, if clear a small amount of smoke will emit from the touch hole, if still in doubt hold the gun upright and throw the ramrod down the barrel, better to loose your ramrod than your life if there is a thudding sound it is blocked if the sound is metal on metal it is clear. The "Expert" has gone down in my opinion.
As for the bow, there is the long bow, the hunting bow which is recurved. And then there is a short bow which is also a recurve, but it is made out of multiple different materials, making it even faster. Yet the hunting bow is faster than the longbow. Because man does not get out of the way of an arrow. Deer will do that frequently.
Todays javelins have ranges of a few hundred meters, at least
Modern javelin record Jan Zelezny’s effort of 98.48m in 1996 still remains the javelin throw world record.
@@desthomas8747 the fgm-148 javelin is what i meant. Its a Man Launched anti tank weapon with about 2km range
At a 150 yd and Archer Ames for the night or the footman. Add a 100 yd. The Archer aims for the night. Or the footman, at 50 yd, the Archer aims for the horse. Or the footman. Finally at twenty yards the archer retreats.
Longbows were actually relatively ineffective agaunst plate armour
Your wooden pin on the pilum is inappropriate. After piercing a shield the Pullum shaft will remain basically straight. However, that pin will snap on impact. No, they men do not return the pilum to the blacksmith to repair. The men will repair the peelium themselves. All it takes is a stick of the right size and you can snap that off using simply your fingers. Most importantly, that pin in the front of the helium is made out of green wood.
25:27 Archery the medieval equalizer like the firearm.
Those are some really short arrows for a long bow.
I disagree. IMO it's a really long bow for such short arrows. 🤪😉
This guy did not do his research. He just went by elementary school information.
Read my comments if you want to truly learn.
This longbow is not a war bow.
Correct
It's funny that guy had a whole schpiel about how the bow took away the class barrier.. it was the crossbow. 😊
Shouldn't Minié ball and round ball be compared on the same kind of rifle? Maybe what we see is just a difference between flintlock and cap operated weapon. I was firing round balls from rifles with the same precision on 50 and even on 100m... all depends on the barrel length and rifle quality giving the proper rotation of the projectile, in my opinion.
The minie ball was more accurate than a round ball even in unrifled muskets
The longer trajectory doesn't create more force ya Wally. Nor do heavy arrows necessarily buck wind better.
0:31 *-100 social credit score*
And then there were cluster munitions..
Romans knew their way around weapons, How ingenious.....😊
Never back on your own😍
The pilum were made with soft metal
Every time I see someone rest the arrow on their index finger, I cringe. Yet, everyone in the movies does that.
?
@@addersbowman Take an archery lesson and you will see.
10:41 approx look closely. The Phelem he threw actually only sticks into the shield. It's only when he does the close up that it is fully"through" the shield. Lmao!
(Yes, I know that in the slow-mo video it shows it going straight through, but when he actually does the experiment it does not.
The roman pilum is "ye olde" APFSDS.
das minie geschoss war so dass es unverschossen glatt durch den gezogenen lauf fiel und dadurch das laden schnell machte und nach dem zünden der treibladung sich in die Züge und Felder presste.
Also genau schie0en ohne eine satt pasende Rundkugel mit dem Hmmer in den lauf zu pressen.
Wat a sad story....for mankind😢
Hungary mentioned 💪🏻🇭🇺 15:09
1st sheild made of plywood?
Also no one can find where the sling came from or how old the tech is.
It's funny to see how many posts of self proclaimed armor experts.
Btw the minnie was used in the War of 1812. But they were not called minnies.
Those full automatic rifles used minnie ball design projectile. It couldn't of been done using ball... Well it technically could have but been a lot harder to do. And wouldn't of been as effective.
Oh i just realized how one could have used round ball for that.
Matter of fact with that i just realized how to of made them more effective
Also muskets were accurate up to 80 yards, not 40 as mentioned here.
Mike Loades is so intense. 😆
I remember my grandmother used to say to me, “I don’t care what they tell you in school, Julius Caesar was a black woman… who was also a lesbian, but dressed herself & lived outwardly as a CIS white man, because of misogynistic patriarchal systematic racism”… I am still suffering from the post-post traumatic stress of that historic injustice! Where is my justice? Reparations?… woe is me!😢
How do soldiers explain what they had to do in battle. The up close and personal, smelling the breath of the enemy. Have and writing's been preserves from these time's. The reson the Roman's carried two pielum was on to get rid of the shield and warrior ,if the first doesn't then second will without his shield .✌️☘️
1345 ,in England bow and arrow arrive
India be like in 1500 BC, make a flying machine
.....Enthusiastic warriors coming towards you 😆😆......Prof Lambert
fear of the long bow lolz
I am curious, what is funny?
Actually the pillum was adopted by germanic peoples, especially the Francs under the name of ”angon”.
lol. a few minutes in and the propaganda goes full tilt.
I love to say “gelateen”
The rail gun will change things. I am so in it
yes it will, but for now it will not. The problem with it is it uses a lot of energy, it's too big and it destroys itself just by using it. In short, it's too costly to be used in war but like how it was portrayed in Transformers hitting a gigantic robot at the top of the pyramid, it's basically what it's supposed to be. Accurate, deadly and literally loooong range. Literally no military armor can shield you from that at close range.
They have a lot of German interviews
Uuuhhhh i dont think 50m aka 54 yards is standard competition shooting distance lol.
0:27 _Weapons bring suffering and death._
Weapons give people the ability to defend themselves against others that would do them harm.
Eeyup! Disarmament brings oppression, which brings suffering and death.
So your point is....?
@@samuelgarrod8327 My point is that weapons are not bad/scary magical objects that have the ability to do anything to anyone; they are inanimate objects.
The most destructive weapons ever created have ensured the safety of those that possess them, to the extent that every nation should possess nuclear arsenals.
George W. Bush stated in early 2002 that after myself/others were finished killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan; America was going to invade Iraq, followed by Iran and then N Korea.
Iraq soon suffered the same fate as Afghanistan but untold numbers of Iranians and Koreans survived because of the threat of being able to defend themselves.
Well, it brings the defence, first of all😂..
And the first weapon is actually the El ( power/force) bow and the arm ( army)..
. People who were lazy to create weapons disappeared)) are to disappear

17:17 in germany jew is an endangered species
That Battle of Crecy is showing different flag for French right?
Weren't the English longbowmen actually Welsh as was the longbow and came with Tudor monarchy (Welsh).
Longbows have existed for thousands of years before Welsh did, Welsh longbow was made out of elm and it didn't have horn nocks. Welsh did inspire the use of longbows for the English, and they were considered to be the best archers, but the archers weren't only Welsh, England had law that stated every man between 16 and 60 had to practise archery every Sunday, why forcing everyone to do archery is only Welsh would have been used as archers?
No mention of rifling which made the rifle more accurate than a smoothe bore musket, regardless of the bullet ! Is this meant to be intentionally misleading ?, or just ignorance, or what ?
Ducked out when he said France and England fought the Russians in the Crimean War. Supposed to be a history programme.
Where is the mongolian
Gun powder weapons is several thausands years older than told. And yes there is lots of Hidden proof out there. On temples in India. And places around the globe on other tempels shown in the wall history more than two thausands years old. Same goes for bicycles Are also same age older
Is the Dane Carsten a mute=?
You are behind the times, Neandertals were Homo Sapiens. They are Homo Sapien Neandertalis as opposed to Homo Sapien Sapien the wise (Sapien), wise, man (Homo). Even that difference is being questioned as they are being shown to be just as smart as us.

Welsh, not English!!!
lol angry vilagers put on green cloth and go with long bows to kill their local taxman/noble and his people and than they send word to king that it was Robin Hood ( robing hood? robing neiborhood? )?
"Roughly 5000 people in a legeon" you stated.
Q/ Why can't you say people ? The soldiers were Men ! You dig ?
Last I checked, men are people. So what point were you trying to make?
What's up, Barry? U good?
No no no no no! There were undoubtedly trans women legionnaires in blonde wigs and with titty breastplates. Don't be such a bigot.
@@mwolkovewomen are people and they were never in a legion. Also toddlers are people and were never in a legion. So what's your point? Other than lack of understanding.

The most used and most underrated weapons of all time is fire and the simple stone. Fire and Stones were used for the majority of human history.
This documentary is only covering a tiny portion of human history. Drags on and on about crap we don't care about.
The Romans also used fire and stones as their primary weapons, but none are mentioned in this video. This video doesn't show the evolution of weapons whatsoever. This video is trash.
Fire was the weapon used extensively for tens of thousands of years. Fire and wood. Fire and stone.
This is the true evolution of weapons.
Fire
Stone
Wood
Wood and fire
Stone and wood
Stone, wood, fire
Fire and stone
Fire and stone created new types of weapons when ancient man realized some stones melt into metals.
The true evolution of weapons started thousands of years before human civilization.
If a throwing spear was found in Germany dating back 300,000 years ago.
That mean Neanderthals were using them.
Really? Just how dumb you ypu have to be to nit figure that one out?
Sapiens were not in Germany at yhat time.
Possibley Desivans or othet old humans.
But very high chance it was Neanderthal.
And Neaderthal had throw wespons.
You forgot the first weapon used by Cane in the bible; the rock he killed Abel with!
KFC human spotted opinion rejected
I don’t think the pilum was that effective. Here itself at 10:37-10:41you can see only the tip has penetrated the shield. And other sections it has penetrated full. So in my opinion it depends on the distance and power of the throw that determines the extent of the penetration.
Other reproductions and descriptions I’ve seen have softer iron in the shaft. If the barbed head went though the shield it was a fair chance to do some damage to the shield owner but even if the head lodged in the shield without penetrating the soft iron shank bent down under the weight of the haft, the target had to deal with an encumbrance that was difficult if not impossible to remove while closing with the enemy whose shields are unencumbered.
The always mystery is, why homo sapiens migrating to the North, from fertile land of Africa???
To get away from OTHER HUMANS, obviously!
Africa cannot even feed itself.
Yes please that is just a bow not a long bow. Pathetic "documentary"
Hindreds of thousands of pilums made and used and none survive?
Iron rusts away that's why.
They are made of iron and wood and are approx 2000 years old, it's unlikely many have survived
Muita propaganda dos EUA, os Chineses já passaram na frente em quase tudo.
Ha ha ha.
Wow ..skipping generations. What about the Persians and Greeks?
What about them...what did they bring to the table of weapons.
Ewww why do they say homo sapiens then show Jamal and Tyrones? africanesis etc
Well technically we are all homosapiens right?
Mostly explosive *peace*.......😂
I just came here to tell you what an idiotic title this is and leave...keep your day job Squidley.
