Blowing a hole the size of a fist through the torso of a General with a thunder stick (Barrett) or dropping meteors on the encampment (mortar) would probably make the rest of them think twice about attacking a god.

E: Apache attack helicopter

Do I only get 1 of each weapon mentioned. If I get more than one I’m going with mortar. If I only get 1 then I’m going SAW. Psychological fear when the enemy sees you killing them from distances only a god/wizard/dieity they believe in

Hit em from far away, make their leader’s heads pop right in front of their eyes. They’ll lose the will to fight rather quickly.

Gunpowder and crude firearms had been around for about 2-300 years by this time. They would quickly recognize the technology, albeit orders of magnitude more advanced than anything they were familiar with.

I'm going with C.

Take out their siege engines first then impacts through their ranks. Seeing their fellows dying to an object so small they barely register it until it's almost on them would be devastating to their morale.

My D. choice would be the Leopard 2A7:



That single piece of hardware would decimate them, even if it didn't fire a single shot.

The problem with C is you're not going to help yourself much in close combat.

I go with B.

An airplane. Any kind. A couple of low passes would stampede the whole army without firing a shot.

Of course it would stampede your own army too.

I don't know. The Romans were as disciplined as any army ever has been and even they had a difficult time with the Huns, who were discount Mongols. And I don't think you'd be mowing down hundreds of charging Mongols alone with a SAW; you'd probably need a legit heavy machine gun for that or multiple SAWs.


They’re pretty big targets on horseback with armor that wouldn’t have a hope of stopping a 5.56. Putting 500 - 700 rounds per minute down range would blow huge holes in their formations in very short succession (just de-horsing them alone is going to a number on them). It would completely change the nature of everything they’d be trying to do. You could put down thousands of them down in minutes.
