Well in that case you're discounting every nuclear weapon ever from being considered a "weapon" except for the two rudimentary ones we dropped during WWII.

I agree with the others that think self contained cartridge is the single thing making the most improvement. Even the old papershell was a huge improvement over cap & ball types. Then with metallic self contained, well, seems we are still using them today and in the days to come.
Yes, that's my point.
Since 1900, reliable automatic weapons. 1911, M1, ect. Also the ability to measure and analyze ballistics accurately lead to the development of advanced calibers. Metallurgy is a good one, as mentioned.
*facepalm*
Something doesn't have to be used as a weapon to actually be a weapon. Its way beyond theory, has been tested extensively and will reliably wipe everything off the map. One could argue that the mere existence of a thermonuclear device that deters others from doing really really stupid **** is enough to classify it as a weapon
Propellants, period. Before that were throwing and chucking, and bowing, and hurling and impailing.
My thoughts exactly.
Either nukes or the invention of the computer/microprocessor
