Wagh nakh were also used to grab someone's wrist. The person will drop whatever he holds (could be a bag of gold or a sword). The only recorded use of the wagh nakh in war was when Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj killed the Bijapur General Afzal Khan at a meeting and, in the ensuing confusion, He managed to capture over 15% of the Bijapur territories.

Urumi my favourite, it's the fact that if a unskilled person uses it it can cut the users head

Hwa = Fire Cha = Vehicle Hwa cha means a vehicle that carries fire.

Small note on the billhook is that it was differentiated from the halberd by the hook on the back, used to hook and pull mounted troops down to then be finished off. It's why it was popular with the English who often fought dismounted against numerically superior cavalry.

The reason Hwacha is well-known today is because it has detailed engineering drawings recorded in 1409 and can be manufactured from it. Chinese records are more like sketchbooks of ideas. There are no engineering drawings, only abstract text, which are not accepted by historians. However, the first rocket that combined gunpowder with an arrow was invented in China. And Since 1392, Korea has been obsessed with record culture surpasses China. Even We have recorded "when & how many times the king went to poop". Every word and action of the king was recorded daily to evaluate whether he was doing Confucian democracy fairly.

Yes, one of the reasons of many. Agility was given more preference than heavy Armour. Leather, cloth and mail was preferred over plates, in Indian Western and Southern region's. A weapon that strikes fear in hearts of foes even when outnumbered, even when ONE single person is facing 10-20 people at a time. There are multiple stories which shows one person defeating multiple armies using this sword head on. Another use is, It can also be used to delay an oncoming assult. It can be worn as a belt and becomes somewhat concealed, surprise enemies. (Southern and western India has 40% mountain terrains suitable for Guerrilla warfares, hidden attacks and surprise attacks) Light Army was very common in these regions. North and central India has flat grounds where heavy Armour and elephants had more advantages. The Urmi was very common in South and Western India. Currently Few people from Kerala, Karnataka and Pune are trying to preserve this culture with Little support they get. - I am a Maratha, from western region and my great grandfathers possessed one of these great weapon's. I had seen these weapons in my grandparents old cupboards when i was small, unfortunately it was in rusted State. Needless to say, they couldn't make it, we gave it away to an enthusiastic collector.

At that time, Joseon was geopolitically isolated and closed, and was doing well with diplomacy without conflict with neighboring giant countries thanks to its excellent diplomatic skills.

The whole point of modern body armour is to stop supersonic or near sonic rounds, the speed works against it. Thats why some very effective bullet proof materials were not stab proof. Its easy to make armour to defeat ancient arms...steel. Thicker steel. The same steel a round will punch a neat hole in at 600yrds. Youre comparing apples with oranges.

Hwacha actually wasn't the real deal. It was the individual rockets, sin gi jeon, they should be praised. We had small, medium and large sin gi jeon. Small, which is shown in the video, flew about 300m. Medium flew around 500m and exploded on impact. Large flew about 1 to 1.5km. There was this one called san hwa sin gi jeon, which was a 2 stage rocket. It was expensive so they weren't used as much. About the same size as the large one (4m tall incl. stabilizing launch stick) They had to manaually punture a nozzle, I believe that had to be 0.3mm. Nano tech of the era pretty much. Hwacha is nothing but a system that made it easier to deal with mass enemies by making the rocket pad exchangeable. Yeah. You could reload that thing in seconds. One difference between Hwacha and chinese rocket launcher is that, Hwacha was more widely used than Chinese launchers. If you want something more interesting, you should look for dae jangun jeon. It looks pretty much like a missile and it's primary use was anti ship missile. The Japanese invading force literally recorded that the Koreans are firing pillars from someone's home at them lol

Southern Indian kings didn't actively wage war as northern ones. The kings had only a bunch of warrior class people called Nairs that would primarily be used for defence and the occasional assault. Besides, light Armor was mostly preferred due to the hotter climate and these warriors relied on flexibility as seen in their martial arts called "kalari payatu". Urumi wielders were expected to fight from multiple sides and inflict most damage, since wars then being close combat, it was likely highly effective.

"Also : any arrow except the bolt. You fire it. Miss. Enemy soldier picks it up, shoot it back at you. Nice job, he didn't have to carry it around all week, and he most certainly didn't have to built it. Talk about an equalize." The point of weapons is to be trained in their use. If you have a 80/90% of hit with your throwing weapon, then it's useful, even if it can be used against you afterwards. And somes, if not many, of these weapons requires quite the familiarity with it to be able to use it properly... If you enemy don't know how to use them, then your argument works even more for them than for the original user of the thown weapon.

The Falcata and Khopesh are not only swords, but in the period of time in which they were wielded, they were extremely effective swords. Every developing civilization on earth didn't arrive at "longswords, longbows, and longspears" like Europe did.

Don't use this video as your education and take it with a heavy dose of salt (skepticism). First, half of these weapons aren't even ancient...they are late medieval. Second, a lot of the history is wrong or misleadingly incomplete. Third, a lot of these weapons weren't battlefield weapons and were mostly use personal defense weapons, and some of these weapons might have been fictional or a much, much later invention because there are no contemporary records for them (eg. Archmiedes steam cannon).

I recognized the hwacha from Ghost of Tsushima. Now that's a weapon.

you want a weapon that took down an empire? its Greek fire 🔥

The macahuitl was not only lined with obsidian, but also shark's teeth. Just depends on the resources available at the time it was made. The hwacha had 2 variants, and more depending on the type of rocket arrows used. the first was the 50, and the 2nd was the 100. Then there were the types of rocket arrows used by the hwacha. Standard rocket arrows that fired only 1 rocket pack, of 250 feet. Then there was the double rocket pack arrows that fired more than 500 feet. The hwacha also fired explosive head arrows as well. when the rocket burned out at the end of it's flight, it lit the explosives near the arrow head. Because of the expense of the double rocket and explosive heads, the most common used was the standard single rocket arrows.

I seen someone get thrusted by a Patu here in Nz didn't end well also the Taiaha used by maori the English once said that the Bayonet was the most feared of all hand to hand combat weapons of its time until they came up against the Taiaha and the maori warriors !

This is propaganda, most of these weapons were not effective at all while the ones that really were effective were not shown in the video (mainly siege weapons and firearms invented in ancient times that are still used today).

Also, you are really joking about that chu-ko-nu. Its range is about 10-20m and damage to a person in any (possibly heavier) clothing is minimal unless you use poison.

That would depend on the material used for the limbs and the string, wouldn't it. If the weapon was a fixed defensive mount, you could use both hands to arm it and so use materials with greater tensile and compressive strength to propel the arrow further.

Bruh the pounds of force of old bows aren’t comparable to new bows. The old bows has waaay more force in their bows than the new ones. The new bows are not meant to kill humans and the old bows are. The videos he also used from the people that recreated them, dont even use the real bow construction. The chinese used a couple variants of very strong bow constructions for those crossbows. The typical one was basically a longbow crossbow that could shoot easily between 50 to 150m for upcoming enemies and such. and they had a smaller recurve version that was for short distance targets. Up to 15 to 30m
