Not really hard to see why.
The introduction of gun powder and horses and steel weapons would have also been good.

@@BanthisyoutubeI personally find WW1 developments of weapons really cool. They pretty much shaped modern firearms as we know it. And the designs that didn't stick were super weird but fulfilled some core purpose.

The funny thing is, this conversation basically played out in real life when Colonel Chesty Puller swore that the Springfield was the only rifle Marines would ever need, even as Marines were busy "appropriating" new M1s from the Army supply boats on the beaches of Guadalcanal.
It was the only rifle Marines would need, but they *wanted* the bangbangping one. It went ping and everything.

One thing though... Never underestimate the destructive creativity of the average American grunt.
There was general distrust of the M1 rifle in the USMC prior to involvement in WW1 and didn't adopt it until just before US involvement in WW2. And even then Marine rear units got early production M1 Garands while the Marine infantrymen kept his M1903. At one point on Guadalcanal a USMC anti-aircraft coastal artillery unit came ashore armed exclusively with the M1 rifle while the infantry with them had M1903s.

Fun fact about early guns. The first firearms were so unreliable and $hitty to use that archers were still far more highly valued during those times. Early guns were absolutely awful, slow and unreliable but VERY EASY to train with and use. You can train a militia of villagers in a month to use a musket. If you want to train a good archer... you start with his grandfather. Good genetics mattered. Guns would fully replace archers only much later on when they were improved.

love the idea that at one point the Kentucky long rifle was cutting edge zoomer technology compared to smoothbore muskets
It helped that Rifles were pretty uncommon due to how time-consuming and expensive they were compared to a smoothbore
Rifles were also slower to load than smoothbore muskets, since you basically have to engrave the rifling onto the bullet as you ram it in, which takes a lot more force. So while you got extra accuracy, it was both more expensive and time-consuming to manufacture and also more time-consuming to load. This issue was first resolved by the invention of the minae ball, which had a hollow rear that expanded under pressure. So the bullet could be made smaller than the diameter of the bore to make it easier to ram down while expanding to engage the rifling when fired for added accuracy. Then once breach loaders were invented, that solved the issue of having to ram a bullet around rifling entirely.
Shouldve done one with the 1911 pistol. 500 years from now we will have standard issue Colt laser blaster pistols, and people like myself will still be like "That things a damn gimmick sonny, get yourself a mans handgun like a 1911 in the Lords caliber .45 ACP designed by the great JMB."

Um, let me unpack this for you sweetie, he clearly said that nobody needs to throw a spear that far, just like how nobody needs short barrels or silencers, and especially high capacity magazines and armor.
Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.
@aegiselectric5805 all of that is gun control, I don't see you're point
My dad is the first fudd. He served as a combat engineer in West Germany in the 70's and swore that the M16 was the best weapons platform in existence. He basically said that the only way that gun would ever be replaced is if firearms tech ditched regular ammo altogether in favor of something that worked better, and the fact that no-one had successfully done so spoke for itself.
Your dad is right though. The ironic thing about this video is it exhibits a fundamental lack of understanding of history. The U.S. made this mistake before with the M14. It was apparent to all that smaller intermediate caliber carbines like the STG-44 were the future because they were controllable in full auto fire and still ballistically effective at actually realistic rifle engagement ranges, instead of the ridiculous ranges iron sights of the time were graduated out to. They also allowed you to carry more ammo for the same weight.
The U.S., stubbornly, went with 7.62x51 instead of one of the actual intermediate calibers being tested by other NATO countries, in what was essentially an M1 Garand capable of full auto and taking box magazines. Surprise, surprise, it ended up being useless for fully automatic fire because of the muzzle climb and ended up being a blip on the radar of U.S. military rifle history because it was replaced so quickly by the M16 chambered in 5.56, having already been deemed obsolete.
Does any of this seem similar to the present day?
@@xb0xisbetter to be fair, the NGSW program was also thought with the ammo in mind to be able to penetrate modern body armor. Back in the day it was insane to give everyone a full auto rifle in 7.62 NATO considering body armor was neither common nor super effective. Still, I'm not sure if it will pay off in the long run, all I'm saying is that maybe it's not as insane as adopting the M14 while everybody else proved how silly it was
@@Axl4325The very idea that it was meant to penetrate modern armor is one of its biggest problems.
There's a relatively recent analogue to that with FN's meme 5.7 cartridge and 4.6×30 from H&K. They spent the 90s developing PDW systems for penetrating modern body armor only to be rendered irrelevant by armor advancements before they could be adopted.
On a larger scale, this is the same reason why we don't see antitank rifles anymore. There came a point that rifles small and light enough to be practical could just no longer penetrate tank armor.
Have they even shown that the new cartridge can actually penetrate level IV armor?
Even if it can actually reliably penetrate commonly available armor now, will it be able to when our enemies try to counter it? It is a lot cheaper and easier to replace body armor than a new standard caliber and rifle platform. If it loses the arms race with armor ... as it always tends to go, it becomes very much like the M14 2.0.
I'm with grandpa on the spartan laser...would be amazing in real life and would probably revolutionize anti-air weapon systems and missile deflection systems, but in a game that has instant travel bullets, not so much.
Halo 3 had actual ballistics tho. Needed to lead your shots with BR and such. Reach and Halo 2 had hitscan.
We already use lasers for anti-air and they're actually pretty effective. Laser technology has vastly improved and it's only going to get better. Directed energy weapons are the future.
@@P90XGetRipped Well laser effectiveness depends on weather conditions and the current range is quite limited since intensity decreases exponentially with distance. It is most useful against drones since it is cheap (unlike a missile).
Use a Spartan laser on any vehicle in Halo 3. That thing is busted.

@@ArmouredProductions Deleted my comment since it's 3:55am and I shouldn't be writing checks my ass cant cash at this hour lol.
I talked to a few friends about pirate muskets and I heard about a thing called a "Musketoon" which is basically a shorter musket. If there's something specifically talking about muskets I imagine they're referring to these rather than the longer guns. But I still think at least for the time frame of the 1600s it'd be cutlass and pistols.
Cuz they're great for closer quarters, and easy to carry, and can be worn while boarding so you dont drop it into the ocean. And most of all shooting several times without reloading is important for such close quarters.
Yes indeed. Google "brace of pistols"
More ancient times are less accurate too, spears are one of the oldest weapons and even cavemen attached strings to 1 end to throw them further. The oldest estimated spear made by human is 300 000 years old. It's really hard to say it's the oldest and earlier men didn't use spears because organic material doesn't preserve that well. Earliest homo sapiens were 500 000 - 750 000 years ago

The Spartan Laser is useful for when you're fighting enemy vehicles and can't find a rocket launcher.

Fun fact regarding UNSC Space Travel:
Cryo Stasis was an integral part of early UNSC space travel that proved to be a godsend during the covenant war, both to conserve manpower against the march of time and the enemy and to accommodate for the at the time slower Slipspace travel. There are veterans from before the war with The Covenant over 50 years ago that are still serving thanks to that, meaning that a man _can_ in fact serve side by side with his gramps on the frontline and have this exact conversation….
Actually, could you imagine the sheer headache mostly-unrestricted FLT like Slipspace would be to fight against in a setting where local FTL is more complicated or unreliable then that? The Empire/First-Order and their Hyperspace Routes would scream bloody murder as a UNSC Fleet initiated Cole Protocol procedures and Slipspace-Scattered in random directions they can’t follow. The Infinity and the 10 Frigites it can hold within itself would be their Boogeymen… Just pop out of Slipspace from an angle that would be impossible using Hyperspace, rain down MAC rounds and Nukes on the target and flee before the local military can fight back.
Infinity as a oversized huge raider of ship sounds pretty cool ngl
@@Bernoris
When you need to shake down a full sized Star Destroyer for lunch money, accept no substitutes.
And if there’s a few hundred Spartans of _any_ generations aboard, then they could probably get away with doing whatever they want to any ship that doesn’t have force welders aboard.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire I mean a Punic could do the same thing as Infinity
As long as their target doesn't return fire of course
Having Spartans for boarding is cool but there's literally no reason to get that close to something like a Star Destroyer
I mean that's like just asking for them to blow you up, unless you managed to neutralize the ship without destroying it
@@Bernoris
Don’t UNSC ships have a range advantage with their missiles and ballistic weapons anyway? The Infinity and it’s built in fleet could cripple the ships from afar before closing in. Hell, with an onboard Smart AI they might be able to outright hack into the ship from a distance. Or at least have a spartan boarding party insert one into the imperial ship to hijack it. You know how piss-poor Star War’s cyber security tends to be.
And I don’t recall any Imperial Ships with anything quite like a MAC (Aside from the First Order Dreadnaught, but that’s more for orbital bombardment then the all purpose use you get from a MAC), so THAT’D be a shock for imperials to have to handle. Th Infinity itself has multiple larger ones and an entire array of smaller ones (Similar to the mass driver we use in Reach), while the parasite frigates should all have at least the one.

Considering the amphibious landing, was he even able to _use_ his longbow? I imagine the string would've gotten soaked, and apparently (I'm not an archer and I don't remember where I read this) wet strings make bows nearly unusable. If that's actually the case, his only functioning weapon would've been the sword, which makes this even _more_ badass.
Not after you shoot it once or maybe twice. I'ma guessin' that it wasn't a synthetic string because, well, they didn't exist yet but any organic string will dry out in a shot or two. The reason I know this is because I used to bow hunt with my crazy WWII veteran grandpa and no, we never got shit...
