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
The Romans also all carried sling and shot and trained on it until they were experts
A sling shot can throw a rock at almost sound speed.That's why you hear that whistle the stone makes during the trayectory. I saw a bear killed by a transilvanyan shepperd with a single launch from a sling shot,using a rounded river stone with the size of a peach. It shuterred the bear's skull like a glass. It's true,the speed is half of a bullet speed,but the weight is like 50 times superior,so the kinetic energy at the impact is devastating.
“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
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."
Yeah, but now you can throw the ,,explody rock'' from 3000 kilometres.
Very nice video. And choosing the pilum was very sound. I think that the crossbow should have made the list in lieu of the longbow though.

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
@@user-iw8pg8kq2qI agree perhaps even firearms wouldn't exist without books that records improvements on weapons especially the recipe to gunpowder
Nice, but what about the crossbow?
Wars weren’t fought with crossbows.. try to keep up
@@brian_vbwhat?
@@boxlabs when?
Arrows vs Armour is in the chat.... 👀👀👀
We go nuclear...no questions asked....
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
@@-Timur1214 when it comes down to your life or mine, let me know what the afterlife is, eh?
@@ernestcote3398 totally random, makes you look like a rtard wanting to drop some random stuff he found cool sounding
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.
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
Thats great!! 😂😂 I bursted out laughing
@@madartzgraphics2019
Oh yeah, like all the time.
It’s just like playing old fashioned lawn Jarts.
Ducked out when he said France and England fought the Russians in the Crimean War. Supposed to be a history programme.
And why is that? It is not incorrect, just not complete.
@@rb3872 It is both incomplete and inaccurate. It ignores the contribution of the Ottomans and the Sardinians. Moreover, it was the United Kingdom not England that fought. The two terms are not synonymous.
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🤓
Great documentary!
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.
Funny how the German guy fires musket after musket without any eye protection. Nostalgia, I guess.
I still shoot without eye pro.
I wear glasses, eye pro knock my glasses off or in an uncomfortable position.
Technically, you close your eyes when firing because you're not really "aiming" it anyway.
Longbows were actually relatively ineffective agaunst plate armour
Romans knew their way around weapons, How ingenious.....😊
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
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
@@Volcaset less than that
@@nothim7321 i meant all education life. They extend the years everytime to keep people busy in the most efficient ages and then let them graduate at the time they are almost mid agr
Pilum is cool. It was later supplanted by the Plumbata. Which is basically a lawn dart. You can pack several plumbata due to their size. And if thrown up over thick enemy formations. It would hit them over the head.
It’s a shame that it missed out that Roman troops carried slingshots too.
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
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.
The heavy use of longbow by the British was actually an accident. They were expecting a siege so employed a huge number of archers. In the end there was no real choice to use them but it was the way that Richard placed them on the flanks that beat the French army.
Wonderful video
Those are some really short arrows for a long bow.
This guy did not do his research. He just went by elementary school information.
Read my comments if you want to truly learn.
Arms or military assets no matter how sophisticated are not effective without the training and tactics employed by military operators. .. the determining factor in wars is always the human factor!
Very nice docco.
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
They missed the revolutionary Mongol Composite Bow
This longbow is not a war bow.
Correct
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.
0:31 *-100 social credit score*
The Hague convention is the Russian handbook on what to do in war
Albion is MMORPG....
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
25:27 Archery the medieval equalizer like the firearm.
It's funny that guy had a whole schpiel about how the bow took away the class barrier.. it was the crossbow. 😊
lol. a few minutes in and the propaganda goes full tilt.
Didn't take long at all
They are Anti-White bigots.
Keep the peace, very funny :)
Maybe a drone equipped with a rail gun might one day exist
Be it the F-16 or SU-57 it's the training and tactics of the fighter pilots that counts
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

doubt that "homo sapiens" were so clean, had nice beards and hair, and had such tailored furs.
The pilum were made with soft metal
Long Bow is not a British invention but Cucuteni Triplia civilisation idea . Also Gingishan was using Samurai and so long
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.
Why are they still portraying romans wearing a lorica segmentata during ceasars campaigns on gaul
Mike Loades is so intense. 😆
Never back on your own😍
The longer trajectory doesn't create more force ya Wally. Nor do heavy arrows necessarily buck wind better.
You're telling about ranged weapons and say nothing about Middle Asian steppes. That is ridiculous.
Also muskets were accurate up to 80 yards, not 40 as mentioned here.
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.
european always start from romans. for them, the world start from romans and everything from romans
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😢
Also no one can find where the sling came from or how old the tech is.
And then there were cluster munitions..
So how again is the penetrating power of the longbow better? How about it depends on how strong you make the bow. And don't talk about the superiority of the longbow it was not the longbow which was still used well into the 17th and even 18th century.
as always speaking about the Roman empire as though they were significant, it was an occupation barabaric group of districts , very violent and was beaten up very easily by desert dwelling shepards who didn't have armors or advanced weapons while also fighting the Persia and defeating them as well
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.
Hungary mentioned 💪🏻🇭🇺 15:09
1st sheild made of plywood?
They have a lot of German interviews
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
The roman pilum is "ye olde" APFSDS.
I love to say “gelateen”
Well its no longer untold
Actually the pillum was adopted by germanic peoples, especially the Francs under the name of ”angon”.
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.
.....Enthusiastic warriors coming towards you 😆😆......Prof Lambert
That Battle of Crecy is showing different flag for French right?
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 .✌️☘️
ARROWS vs ARMOUR - Medieval Myth Busting th-cam.com/video/DBxdTkddHaE/w-d-xo.html
😮😮😮
No... we have literal test showing that arrows don't pierce through armor. Why do people keep bringing up this myth?
Arrow don't pierce modern armor but at that time they worked well 🙂
Chain mail yes, but not plate armor. There are many test regarding that that show that they are essentially powerlesss against plate. Though most didn't wear plate to be fair
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 ?
17:17 in germany jew is an endangered species
Where is the mongolian
1345 ,in England bow and arrow arrive
India be like in 1500 BC, make a flying machine
what the actual F guys… kids shooting 50 pounds bow and call it a long bow? shame on you for not making your research and basing your video on 50 pounds bow. Next time find yourself a man.
Be it the F-16 or
fear of the long bow lolz
I am curious, what is funny?
Uuuhhhh i dont think 50m aka 54 yards is standard competition shooting distance lol.
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.
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
Huh

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!😢
the incredible history of weapons of white man! is a better title for this video!
Welsh, not English!!!

لا وجود لما يدعى homospiens بعد طوفان نوح أصبح العالم بدائي أما ما قبل الطوفان كانت الشعوب متحضرين و كان آدم أبو البشر على علم كافي و علم أبنائه العلوم العظيمة و بعد موته بسنوات عديدة فسدت الأرض و اشتد غضب الله علي البشر و أصبحوا بدائيين بالشكل المتعارف عليه باسم رجل الكهف
you need to come out of the European centricity.. when you talk about the history of weapons it does not start with Rom & their weapons, even Persian horses had protective armor 600 years before Rom could make it for their soldiers. for almost 500 year the Rom paid Persia just not to fight with them until Maurice came to save Rom. I mean Persia must have some bad ass weapons to defeat Rom for like 500years. So please when you talk about any History be Honest & truthful about it.
What about the romanian "bâtã"?
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.
"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.
