If you could give any civilization or country in history modern weapons and the capability to reproduce them, who would you pick? Personally I'd pick either Timur or Alexander the Great, just to see how much farther they could've gotten.
Hard mode: no Byzantine or Roman empire
Anthony Miller
Pic related. Crusaders. Also Third Reich for futuristic, space age weapons.
Grayson Turner
Mesoamericans
Jordan Rodriguez
Hitler
Cameron Adams
Meso-Americans >¿Es este indio? BOM BOM HAVE A NICE DREAM
Jace Turner

Josiah Watson
Assyria.

Flying saucers and atomic weapons. Oh wait that actually already happened.

Evan Bailey
God, imagine being a native at that time. I mean they must have believed the world was ending.
>Strange men with weird face hair are invading >they ride beasts into battle >use weapons that shoot fucking thunder
Are there any accounts on what the natives thought of the Spaniards?
Thomas Sanchez
Hey, I'm not saying it was aliens. In saying it was time travelers, who may or may not be be from another planet. (They were though.)
Jaxon Garcia
I would unironically give them to the first christian martyrs, just to see if they would use them against the Roman army.
Dylan Rogers
Haha as a Catlick I find this interesting
Ian King
Alexander is my first pick, then the Minoans, then Carthage, then Syracuse.
Jaxon Gutierrez
Holy Roman Empire so that they can enforce the name and kill Voltaire and end this stupid fucking meme.
Daniel Collins
Carthage, Persia to fight of Alexander, Boudicca's army
Cameron Foster

Justin Fisher
>Carthage
Jose Hill
Phoenicians. Let them spread the technology around for a while, everyone will have the things eventually. Maybe if some scholars learn enough about the inner workings of the weapons we can get a head start on understanding combustion processes better, maybe get proper engines quicker.
Mason Morgan
We tried it your way fagmaster. Or better yet fuck Carthage, give them to Vercingetorix, or to Tarquinus Superbus.

>Personally I'd pick either Timur Wew. Millions of people dead weren't enough?
Luke Ross
I feel like just giving gunpowder technology to older civilizations would be far more interesting than a Guns of The South type scenario. Like imagine arquebus-type firearms developed with metallurgy techniques from 300 BC. Or what would the early Mayans do with an exploding powder? Would we see early rockets brought to bear against conquistadors?
Ayden Myers
>Tarquinius Superbus
Jackson Lee
Haiti.
Michael Bell
Sassanid Empire, no rise of islam, instead spread of a more humane kind of slavery, plus they were just cool
Daniel Cook
>give niggers modern weapons >watch them kill themselves in an epic fashion Oh you devil you.
Jeremiah Carter
It depended on the time and people, being for the Tlaxcalans their only chance to defeat an empire that had them surrounded, but I think the Tlatelolcans interviewed by Bernardino de Sahagun for the Floretine Codex might provide an accurate portray of the Mesoamerican first thoughts: >"They were very white, their eyes were like chalk. Their armaments, their swords, their shields, their lances, were all of iron. The animals they rode were as high as a roof top and looked like deer. Their dogs were huge, their eyes blazed yellow like fire. They moved about with their tongues hanging, always panting."
There are also some descriptions of the Spanish army during 1521 and the way many Conquistadors adopted feathered frontlets and how Cortes was guarded by a group of elite warriors, "like our Cuauhchicqueh and Otomie" if I recall correctly. Sadly I don't have the source right now.
Eli Powell
It would have been cool to see them BTFO the Europeans even more but okay
Ryder Wood
>BTFO the Europeans But they did
Chase Wood
If Timur had modern weapons the world world would be completely empty until native Americans colonized it several hundred years later.
I think Timur is a very interesting and underrated conquerer but some people estimate more people died in his conquests than in world war one
Angel James
Dracula. Because fuck ottomans.
Christian Morris
18th century Saxony so they can destroy Prussia and unite Germany themselves and have a German-Polish alliance rule Europe.

The aztecs would have throne the guns into a lake as soon as they discovered that they left enemies in a state that wouldn't allow them to be sacrificed. Also, cortez still would have found a way, though he prolly would have had to use a fuckton more charisma. Dude was based as fuck
John Adams
Genghis Khan, would be interested to see what Subutai does in Central Europe with howitzers.
Ayden Gonzalez
This might be cheating a bit but homo neanderthalensis. It's kind of funny to think about having the tables turned this harshly.
Jeremiah Cook
>no Byzantine Ok, take your pick Bulgarians or Serbs. The Turks must be defeated.
Oliver Robinson
Is Ethiopia really an unique expection when it comes to history & culture in Africa or just a meme?
Jonathan Jackson
>even more
Sebastian Mitchell
Modern guns would probably be better at wounding people for sacrifice
The 9mm was actually designed to wound rather than kill. This was so that enemy soldiers would try to rescue their wounded comrades, exposing themselves.
Logan Nguyen

On hard mode? Either the Seleucids or the Visigoths.
Nathaniel Cooper
Vikings or Nazis. Simply nukes would suffice the Nazis
Andrew Jenkins

Owen Myers

David Flores
Parthia, maybe? Would be quite interesting to see them not get squashed by Islamics and keep control of the middle east. They'd probably just use them to blow shit up in India, though.
Liam Gray
Genghis Khan & Friends with AK-47s.
Luis Thompson
They probably still wouldn't have been used, considering that tradition is everything for the aztecs. Also, modern firearms would still be far, far more deadly than the crap that the aztecs were using
