6:00 which anime is that ?
Husité had much more interesting weapons so you just could look that far. Jan Žižka used mace by the way.
Katana is cooler than hook sword and semi/full auto crossbow?NOWAY!!
Love how they talk about flail when it was never combat weapon really… But ok
You guys love berserk! don’t you guys.😊😊
Not a single mention of the Urumi? You know that Indian sword which has about two dozen blades attached to it with a variation which has 32 and is ment to be dual wielded meaning you will have 64 blades and you actually are able to right with. Like wtf.
You people are so ignorant. You’ll have taken weapons which have appeard in main stream media only and haven’t even researched. Bhramastra should have been #1 as per research which was in ancient hindu text of mahabharata the greatest war in history of mankind and atom bomb was inspired from Bhramastra as robert oppenheimer the creator of atom bomb stated a line from vedas , a quote by lord vishnu.
Spear/pole arms > swords
Isn’t that a trebuchet rather than a mangonel?
