    The comparison does not hold up though. They were great at adapting same-era technology, but they would literally have to invent industrialisation and modern steel industry for them to be able to replicate a modern day machinegun. That is not something they would be able to do just by examining the object.

      Yeah that’s a fair take. No way they get anywhere close to making a modern gun.

      I bet they’d make a cannon instead.
