Ottoman janissaries used firearms in 15th century and cannons(that just did noise lmao) in 14th century. Chinese used gunpowder for warfare WAAYY before Europe ever smelled it's smoke. Aztec soldiers had weapons that would fragment on impact because they were made of obsidian. Indians and Chartagianians used war elephants. Afsharids used cannons on camels.

Fun fact: the crossbow has a much larger and more powerful variant known as the arbalest or the windlass crossbow. The main difference is that the bow was made of steel instead of wood.
When it comes to the pilum, modern interpretations sort of discount the bending hypothesis, it was more or less designed to punch thru shields and remain stuck in there, forcing the adversary to drop his shield one way or another. The "ball" is indeed a sort of counter weight.
During WW2 a person working in Hiroshima survived an atomic blast, he then decided to return to his home city of... Nagasaki... He survived both atomic bombings.
The most powerful weapon of pre-history was of course, the Cav-Mhan RO-C projectile. Propelled by Hugh Mann’s revolutionary A-RM propulsion system, the RO-C could hit targets up to ten feet away with minimal accuracy!

But, but ... If we used Oversimplified version, Trireme is not Roman's by right, it's Phoenician's product, copied by Romans. If anything, Roman's strongest weapon during that age is "Corvus" making sea war feels like Land War. Although the strongest weapon during that era should be Roman's perseverance. Remember kids, even if you pissed of mother nature, as long as you don't admit defeat, you still can win.
In reality, greek fire was the most powerful weapon for centuries until firearms were invented. Even nowadays turning down greek fire would be very difficult without special means.
Whoever made this needs to research more about Eastern powers since its heavily Eurocentric. I will just name a few. China utilized gunpowder in 7th century and at the time was by far the most effective and most sought-after warfare material. Viking axe?! Cmon... Some sources say Ottomans used canons in battles like Battle of Kosovo (1389) and Nukap (1396) and most certainly by the 1420s. What gives the idea that "long bow" would be the strongest weapon in 15th century is laughable. Safavids used the "Zamburak" in early 17th century, which was literally a canon on a camel. It would seem funny but was arguably the most effective weapon at the time. So much that Mughal, Durrani and other empires made widespread use of them, and Afsharids used large numbers of them to dominate Ottomans and Mughals. And also it would've been great if weapons from the Iron Age and Classical Antiquity were included
Crazy how we went straight from cannons and dinky little machine guns to funny metal spheres that can level an entire city, at this rate I’m fucking terrified about what’s gonna happen in the 22nd century
The arrival of Tanks completely changed how land battles are fought. Tanks are the most powerful, effective weapon of WW1 and early to mid WW2. 1914 to 1943 The arrival of Aircraft Carriers completely changed how sea battles are fought, Aircraft Carrier is the most powerful weapon of WW2 pacific till cold war, 1943 to 1960s, the entire warfare spins around Aircraft carriers. They can strike anywhere. The arrival of missiles made everything mentioned before useless, they can strike anywhere and immediately. Most powerful weapon from 1970s to 2010s Drones are the most powerful weapon from 2020s to now. Can recon, attack, guide artillery, very good in Russia-Nato war. And very good.in future. Because no one will die if drone can die.
The longbow had been around WAY longer than the 15th century. We’ve had longbows in the archaeological record as far back as 2690 BCE, with them historically being documented as early as the late 12th century. Why would you list them as something being specific to three centuries after they were first documented?
Damn bro that escalated quickly I mean we were going from shortbows being upgraded to longbows to in the same time span going from cannons to nuclear war heads.
No Chinese weapons (except for the crossbow ig) is crazy. Which is even more crazy when you realize the crossbow was made in the in 400 bc and even appeared in the Terracota Army (second century)! It received mass adoption and a major upgrade in the 11th century in the Song Dynasty. Moreover the the fire lance (an exploding spear) some respect.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron, big iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

The Nazi Regime began to use it as a March Song

Nothing about Racial Superiority or About Nazism
The ballista is the .50 cal equivalent to the crossbow imo
The pilum was not designed to break
They were designed with a well made thin barbed head to stick in people or more ofyen shields, hard to use a shield with that on the front
Spear and shield combat could create big casualties if both sides got closer than spear range, whoever pulls a shorter weapon can stab 3 peoples necks before they can react
Romans used pilum to disable shields, dropped or hard to wield with it dangling out, some bruised if it got through enough and some bleeding if not wearing armour or light padding
Then with many shields gone from the enemy and some damage dealt with great discipline they were made to close the gap with gladius or spartha to slash and stab at close range
Roman bowstring artillery could not damage even wooden fortifications reliably
Used tension from ropes not from limbs if i am not mistaken
Advantages to big crossbow, can pierce armour well instead of small gashes or bruises, used outside range of archers, reletively small, can keep enemy heads down so use of escalades and dirt ramps is less risky
Disadvantages, hard to move, a bit longer to prime
Main disadvantages offset in a siege where you are in prepared positions or setting up some outside an enemies walls
The catapult shown was not used often, used a short sling for extra power and to ajust range when needed, did not throw big rocks, on small scale it is more effecient than trebuchets, throwing something 2-6 the mass of a slingstone, used on ships and sometimes on and against walls, wont breaks the wall but on wood forts can break battlements and hit people, sometimes used on battlefield
Battle axes were not good on wood, this axe would not be stronger than previously mentioned ballista, a handheld weapon most effective was the spear, as it was for 90% of human history
The ship shown was fir transport mainly, no specialised battlements
Siege towers stereotypically shown are just way too expensive for wgat they offer, can only access a gatehouse which is not a nice place to be
Ladders were far more common than this
Actual siege towers were brought as close to the ditch as possible, taller than the wall with battlements ontop so you could spy on the enemy and shoot down onto their walls so when you brought ladders the walls would be clearer
90% of crossbows were weaker than bows
A crossbow is designed to be more consistent than a bow, take less skill and time to learn than a warbow of 90 lb or more
So they make a mechanism to hold the string rather than you bit is heavier and bulkier, so bow is shortened which goves less draw length meaning it is close to 4x less efficient than a bow, most were not metal til the late medieval period a 700lb cross bow is similar to a 165 lb longbow
Longbows were not stronger or more accurate but cheaper than a recurve or composite bow
Thus you could make an entire population into suitable archers with little extra cost, you can keep it up so up to 180lb can be pulled by many, 165 or 160 popular as it was easier to handle than the 180 or so lb and as such most arrows made for english campaign were designed with a 160 or so lb bow in mind
Most good armour in the 15th century was striving for plate armour which shatters longbow arrows
The arquebus was never the strongest weapon, muskets and guns were directly more powerful, like a crossbow but better in most ways besides more tools needed to be carried rather than a single one, damp conditions hampered it and was longer than a crossbow

I dont need AI crap on history. I want real historian to rank weapons
Honestly feel like you’re just picking random weapons and pieces of equipment regardless of when they were invented
