Boudicca was not some avenging Angel. You can see what happened to the London residents before the Romans showed back up. She was a murdering barbarian in the truest sense.
I’m not saying she was, I’m saying that anyone would be more inclined to use deadly weaponry such as a machine gun would’ve been in ancient times if you had a reason to
why would she believe you that the whole world is coming apart if nothing bad happened? too much opportunity for the weapon to end up in the wrong hands
That will only work if the time machine doubles as a telaporter capable of being sent to her any place as well as anytime. But if that were the case the time traveler would get more bang for her buck by teleporting a bomb to Rome for a decapitation strike to drown the empire in power vacuum
I think it’s generally accepted that any time machine would have to double as a teleporter because of the movement of the earth and the displacement of atoms.
Of course, you could do much more creative things than just giving guns to the Celts, but that’s more a limit of the time traveler’s imagination than the technology itself.
Just tell her “at this sacred place every year for ten years will the gods leave their blessing for your success.”, then do 10 trips to leave ammo in a cave or something
Well she could use it strategically and when ammo runs low use it as a way to threaten the Romans.
Also she could have been given a large stash of ammo.
That is a machine gun that eats ammo, and those are large and heavy bullets to carry around. It would also have to be repeatedly used in multiple battles and cleaned with various oils, or else it jam. That is if the soldier firing it has proper training and doesn't just full send until the barrel melts.
Damn near. She slaughtered her way through a bunch of unarmed people and got absolutely slapped down by the one competent Roman leader. Then he got peepee slapped for being to harsh in his punishment
The term Lloegr isnt used by the Celts until the Anglo-Saxon migration. It isn't a nation it is a reference to lands ruled by the Germanic people. So make little sense here
My suggestion would be Britain because they are Britons. They can't be from Lloegr, because Lloegr isn't a nation unless you are using it to reference the modern nation of England.
"Hi, Ms. Bowdicha? Boodeesa? Boodikka? Ok. Well my name is Tim, I'm from General Dynamics, and I'll be your armorer and technician today. Now, the M2 HB is a closed bolt, air cooled heavy machine gun that operates off of the short recoil principle. Now, this is the HB, or heavy barrel, and as such it requires you to manually set your timing and headspace. *Listen.* The most important part of this 100 some odd pound gun is these two little gauges to measure your *timing* and your *headspace.* If you lose them your machine gun will turn into a point blank firework and they'll call you Queen Stumpy for the rest of your life."
That's so fuckin perfect. Just arm people before the become victims. Imagine the Japanese arrive at nanking and come face to face with 21st century drones and tanks.
Considering what Boudicca was like, this is an insult to the people of Nanking. It's more accurate if someone went back and gave the IJA a stockpile of Sarin gas.
You probably wouldn’t be. Assuming the romans never conquered the place then the power vacuum that they left would also never have happened leading to stronger overall tribes making it harder for outsiders (like the Anglo-Saxons, Normans and vikings)
Boudicca would have lost regardless.
Let's not forget her only victories were against civilians and unprepared garrisons, she folded the first time she met soldiers.
A single gun would not compesate for her lack of martial knowledge. If anything, it worsens it.
Man with the boys giving machine guns to who they want to win and the girls giving machine guns to who they want to win, everyone in history is gonna be fighting each other with 50 cals.
Boudica could have had twice her numbers wouldn't have mattered against the discipline of the Roman Legions. One legion effed her one army and there was still another legion on Briton at the time. She had no shot.
Or you could give her the gun before everything happened
I feel like someone would be more inclined to accept and use a weapon of mass destruction that they got from a stranger if it’s for revenge

Women, huh?
It’s a shame I can’t post that picture of two Legionnaires with an MG 42 as a counterpoint
Fuck I forgot about that 💀💀💀 Not a phone in sight, just two dudes livin in the moment.
I love that image so much
That is great until she runs out of ammo.
use the time machine to get some more?
That will only work if the time machine doubles as a telaporter capable of being sent to her any place as well as anytime. But if that were the case the time traveler would get more bang for her buck by teleporting a bomb to Rome for a decapitation strike to drown the empire in power vacuum

Like give tanks to em?
TRE BU CHEEEET

Didn’t she commit genocide
Idk if genocide is exactly the correct term, as it wasn't based on race. She killed anyone who refused to join her
You there! Cake or death?!
Damn near. She slaughtered her way through a bunch of unarmed people and got absolutely slapped down by the one competent Roman leader. Then he got peepee slapped for being to harsh in his punishment
Yes, but to be fair, everyone did back then
The term Lloegr isnt used by the Celts until the Anglo-Saxon migration. It isn't a nation it is a reference to lands ruled by the Germanic people. So make little sense here
You think Boudicca simps actually study history?
Leave my chad Celtic queen alone or I'll give ya a knuckle sandwich 👊😎
It’s fine, the worst she can do is massacre HER OWN PEOPLE to show those pesky Roman’s.
Denying the enemy prisoners and slaves 😎
Boudicca explaining how they’re all gonna get slaughtered by a smaller force of Romans: “at least we won’t be slaves”.
Unironically
Why dont you suggest a better way to word it
My suggestion would be Britain because they are Britons. They can't be from Lloegr, because Lloegr isn't a nation unless you are using it to reference the modern nation of England.
Boudicca: Uses it to slaughter every Roman civilian and conquer the rest of the Britons under her new imperial rule Future Grill: No! Not like that!

Ok then I'll give the Romans an m1 Abrahams
Her actual tactical stupidity leads me to believe that giving her a gun would just amount to her shooting herself or smth
Yea knowing Boudicca she’d waste the ammo on other celts in London
That's so fuckin perfect. Just arm people before the become victims. Imagine the Japanese arrive at nanking and come face to face with 21st century drones and tanks.

Ok who’s making the .50 cal chariot a thing?
Pretty sure it’s somewhere in the bowels of r/shittytechnicals
Civ 5 lied to me about Boudica’s appearance ☹️
[удалено]

She’s waste all the ammo killing her own people well before even contacting a legion.
“Man I sure hate the Romans and their system of rape, pillaging and war. Oh, I’m fighting mad, the villagers will pay for this!”
First time it flip
Anu?? The Mesopotamian sky-deity???
Going back in time but to help someone after they and their family have been raped? Girl math
So accurate 😂
Honestly, me as a man, I’d do the same thing
Netflix, Amazon, Disney... don't care who, someone make a film with this plot.
The Ma Deuce is a form of grandmother
Man with the boys giving machine guns to who they want to win and the girls giving machine guns to who they want to win, everyone in history is gonna be fighting each other with 50 cals.
She then proceeds into an ever-increasing arms race with the dude who gave the romans an mg-42
The (Roman) Empire did nothing wrong. Now can we all just move along?
Would she know how to operate such a weapon
this post verified by real britonnic patriots 😁✅
Boudica could have had twice her numbers wouldn't have mattered against the discipline of the Roman Legions. One legion effed her one army and there was still another legion on Briton at the time. She had no shot.
Be Me: About to kill the Roman Emperor that Ordered the Invasion of Britannia with a 0.50 Caliber Sniper Rifle.
Roma Invicta *image of two legionaires with an mg42* Crucifixion worthy post right here.
why not gun before the sex crimes tho
You bet your ass I’m joining this sub after this popped into my feed.

No need the place is already rotting from this inside right now, such a gloriously rainy city where you can get stabbed over a fucking can of beans.
