AK47. Every video on the nightly news documenting an uprising everywhere in the world shows a crowd of angry young men lofting an AK47.

not initially intended as a weapon, but the greatest creation (that also has potential to be used as a weapon) is the internet.

The best and least used weapon in war is the handshake. Handshakes have ended more wars than bombs.

The bow. I think it had an even greater effect on history than the spear, with or without the atlatl. We will probably never know. cn

I think it would be between the bow and the slingshot. The first side with the ability to propel ammo through the air (other than just throwing) had to be devastating to the opposition.

OK, as to that, I'll say... the rock is the fist at a distance, as is a mark big, daisy cutter bomb and every projectile strike. Explosion or none.

So, the fist is the "greatest."

Life, you took my answer.... Propaganda is the best military weapon ever, hands down... It has won wars before they even started. Very powerful indeed! The pen is mightier than a sword (paraphrased of course) but so true!

the Welsh Longbow and it's partner the Bodkin Arrow

no other weapon has so effectively closed out an era of military doctrine like it.

The very idea of war, that we are fighting for elites to rule us, in only their interest, without the ruling class there wouldn't be war, I can't see a bunch of citizens raising an army and invading other citizens.
