Nice to see the Boomerang in there never the less.

I often don't understand these so-called list!

there are many rifles and guns that should be put in the list

Most of these lists are based on the impact they had on the battlefield when they were first introduced.

I grant you that sometimes their lists don't make sense to the warriors who had to use weapons in combat.

THEY HAD TO START SOMEWHERE SO THAT YOU AND I CAN AGREE/ARGUE THE FINER POINTS OF THEIR LISTS.

off topic but these lists never make sense to me! for instance when they sort "The best songs of the century or 1970s or ...."

I think these lists are nonesense most of the times

What about Spears that the Greek Hoplites used in pre-Alexander the Great times?

Also, aren't the greatest weapons wits, tactics and skilll`?

No it isn't. I don't think it was used much in battle. I haven't read anything about battles being decided by boomerangs.

Glad to see you've decided to be the expert on pre-colonial Australian history here.

It wasn't used in any great battles between British settlers and the aboriginals because it was ineffective against redcoats weaponry. But it was used heavily as an effective weapon in battles between aboriginal tribes and also for hunting.

Let me guess: All aboriginal tribes suffered more casualties from friendly fire than they did from hostile fire
