Ancient and Medieval weapons
As much as we love guns, sometimes you have to go old school to get the job done. Ancient and Medieval weapons always provide a good time (as long as you are not on the receiving end). From Ranker:Ancient and medieval weapons reflected rapid changes in metalworking, production, and the evolving needs of soldiers. They needed to be sturdy, easy to make, powerful, light, and not rust or fall apart in bad weather. But while there are countless variations on what men-at-arms carried into battle, they mostly fall into a couple of categories.
Medieval weapons were usually either swords, spears, axes, pole-arms (essentially spears with axe heads) or hammers. They had either sharp edges for cutting, sharp points for thrusting, or heavy heads for crushing. Sometimes, they combined a few of these traits. Bows and arrows were also used, as were siege weapons, and early forms of gunpowder. But most men went into combat carrying some kind of either blunt or edged weapon.The Most Iconic Ancient and Medieval Weapons[mwi-cat-listing cat="94" ppp="4" cols="4" desc="false" type="view" btn_color="black" ]
