              But are stirrups a weapon?

              The whole question is a bit ill-defined.

                Good point, of course they're multi-purpose and helpful even when you're not trying to kill anyone. One could say that stirrups lead to one of the biggest military developments/advantage, even though they themselves might not be classified as weapons.

                  Strictly speaking, can you count prehistorical weapons as having changed history?

                    There would be no history without them, so yes.

                      Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
