History Of Weapons: Faster than the Enemy | Full Documentary

Throughout history, speed becomes a decisive feature of warfare. In spectacular experiments a team of international experts presents the most significant weapons of history where speed made a difference. The chariot brings mobility to the battles of the ancient world. Small handguns as Samuel Colt’s revolver launch a new era of war. And the weapon considered as the one symbol for asymmetric warfare is the sling. Will the Future laser cannon change warfare with the speed of light?

Since the very beginning of human existence, weapons have been produced and used to kill. Bloody conquests and dreadful crimes are committed by the means of weapons. But freedom fighters, anti-terror units, liberators — all depend on the use of weapons. The ‘History of Weapons’ is much more than a technical investigation. It uncovers the connection between the development of a new military device and the aftermath of its usage — dynamics that shaped several millennia of human fate.

The 10-episode documentary series History of Weapons tells the story of weaponry that took leading roles in the major battles of history. It reveals the developments of arms that often improved the technical progression of its times. It also investigates men’s desperate attempts to tame the destructive power of ever new instruments of war.
