'''War machines''' were heavily armored mechanical devices used by both the [[Byzantines|Byzantine]] [[Templars]] and the [[Turkish Assassins]] during [[Den Defense|conflicts]] against each other to siege and control [[Assassin Dens|towers]] in and around the city and districts of [[Constantinople]], which helped them monitor and control the surrounding area according to their specifications.

Assassin's later would use Greek Fire alongside barricades in Assassin dens against the Byzantines during den defense.
===Machine Gun===
{{main|Machine Gun}}
Identical to the machine gun of [[Leonardo da Vinci]], this ballistic weapon, technologically far ahead for it's time, fired bullets at targets within short and far-medium range at quick successions. The machine gun was used to provide cover for the troops on foot.

{{main|Cannon}}
This artillery device fired projectiles from a far distance and destroyed the barricades. Although cannons were in large numbers at a time, unlike other war machines, by Byzantine troops, these were relatively easily damaged and destroyed.

Battering rams consisted of a large wooden, hollow-prism shaped wheeled frame with a metal covering and a pointed log. These were used as siege engine by Byzantines to destroy barricades set up by Assassins. These were huge in size and could easily destroy any barricade.
