War machines were heavily armored mechanical devices used by both the Byzantine Templars and the Turkish Assassins during conflicts against each other to siege and control towers in and around the city and districts of Constantinople, which helped them monitor and control the surrounding area according to their specifications.[1]
War Machines
Greek Fire
- Main article: Greek Fire
An incendiary mechanical device, this flamethrower type contraptions was first created by the Byzantines, who closely guarded it's secret as a military device. The Greek Fire inflicted heavy damage to everything in it's surrounding.
Later, the Assassins would use Greek Fire alongside barricades in Assassin dens against the Byzantines during den defense.[1]
Machine Gun
- Main article: 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.
Later the Assassins mounted machine guns on barricades to gun down incoming Byzantines.[1]
Cannon
- Main article: 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.
The Assassins also used cannons, attacking the Byzantines from a distance with great effect. Later they began to mount a lighter cannon on their barricades, for close range support.[1]
Ram
