Side thread to medieval warfare!

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Lol sorry it's me again, after making that thread got me thinking about other stuff.

If you could go back in time to any medieval battle, what modern weapon of warfare would you take back to obliterate the enemy with?

I would take back an apache attack helicopter or possibly a challenger 2 tank
Fucking merk some people up with them

Or just think of the damge you could do with a couple of mini gun nests!

 

[TheTim]

Mini gun all the way.

 

[TheBluesader]

Hydrogen bomb.

If the Vikings had had hydrogen bombs, we'd all be Vikings today.

 

[Sir Kemper]

An AK-47 with a fuckton of ammo.

Less becuase it's "OMG AK-47" and more becuase of it's reliability.

 

[Yureina]

I'll take an AK too for personal protection, but gimme one of those crazy overarmed ground support aircraft like an AC130 Spectre Gunship as a reserve when I don't want to go on the ground personally (which probably would be the entire time). Mix one of those into the midst of a medieval battlefield and those poor guys on the ground would probably think god himself was bombarding them from heaven.

Not really a weapon, but it would be goddamn amazing. Fuck your castle, I have a truck.

 

[Fidelias]

Some form of sniper's rifle, preferably with a shitload of ammunition. Those castle turrets would be fucking gold for camping.

Hydrogen bomb.

If the Vikings had had hydrogen bombs, we'd all be Vikings today.

Actually none of us would probably be here, since the Vikings would have most likely wiped themselves out.

Not too much with the brains, the Vikings.

Those were my ancestors, asshole!!!

Edit:And I'd have to say... a hunting rifle. Something that's versatile and accurate.

Holy shit! it has like a whole flight of stairs just to get to the drivers seat!

i would just drive it straight down the middle of the army and watch them run mwhahahaha!

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

It wouldn't take much to single handedly win a battle of the era. More than an inch or two of armor and the only thing that threatens are seige weapons, notable for the simple fact they are not designed to hit moving, relatively small targets. Armaments aren't terribly important either, assuming you have a vehicle that can shrug off impacts with people and cavalry. An unamred M1114 would be more than sufficient to win your average pitched battle where a seige might require something a bit more elaborate.

 

[octafish]

Ground vehicle's need fuel. Aircraft need landing strips. Helis need mechanics. Guns need ammo.

Metalurgy. Bio-Chemistry.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Super sized super-powered electromagnet.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Any tank will do for me.

I'd watch my enemies run in fear.

 

[AlchemicalGod]

Id rather just use a simple sileced sniper rifle, and I would't kill, aimlessly, I'd probably kill some evil people, like those inquisitors, and the crusaders.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Some firearms, don't really care which, for personal protection. Tank or APC to get around. Nerve gas to win battles. No Chemical Weapons Convention or Geneva Convention back then. Don't forget the gas mask.

Oh, scratch that, just give me Drebin's APC including contents. I'll get by.

 

[Srdjan]

M60 and lots of ammo.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

An M-2 .50 cal machine gun mounted on a Humvee

 

[darth gditch]

M4A1 SOPMOD and perhaps an Apache gunship.

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

Modern day artillery would be fantastic against a large army.

 

[Bato]

Hydrogen bomb.

If the Vikings had had hydrogen bombs, we'd all be Vikings today.

If only they did.
We'd be at our computers stroking our man-beards today.


I'd get me a big-ass tank, a small crew, and mount a gun, preferably a minigun.
Also, I'd pick up an axe or sword or something, so I can yell to the driver to get me closer, I want to hit them with my axe!

 

[Plurralbles]

Id' have everything be normal for the era except I would want everything stronger and made with the top materials of today.

That would be sweet.
