Journey through the development of ancient and medieval weapons including bow and arrows, slings, atlatls (spear-throwers), various types of crossbows (including the Chinese Chu-ko-nu repeating crossbow and DaVinci's design), and the mysterious Greek Fire. Learn about defensive technology like Linothorax armor and early chemical weapons such as tear gas. Each weapon is demonstrated and explained in detail with comprehensive chapters covering the historical context, construction methods, and tactical applications of these pre-gunpowder armaments that shaped human conflict for millennia.
