If you could give any civilization or country in history modern weapons and the capability to reproduce them, who would you pick? Personally I'd pick either Timur or Alexander the Great, just to see how much farther they could've gotten.

Hard mode: no Byzantine or Roman empire

Let them spread the technology around for a while, everyone will have the things eventually. Maybe if some scholars learn enough about the inner workings of the weapons we can get a head start on understanding combustion processes better, maybe get proper engines quicker.

We tried it your way fagmaster. Or better yet fuck Carthage, give them to Vercingetorix, or to Tarquinus Superbus.

I feel like just giving gunpowder technology to older civilizations would be far more interesting than a Guns of The South type scenario.
Like imagine arquebus-type firearms developed with metallurgy techniques from 300 BC. Or what would the early Mayans do with an exploding powder? Would we see early rockets brought to bear against conquistadors?

It depended on the time and people, being for the Tlaxcalans their only chance to defeat an empire that had them surrounded, but I think the Tlatelolcans interviewed by Bernardino de Sahagun for the Floretine Codex might provide an accurate portray of the Mesoamerican first thoughts:
>"They were very white, their eyes were like chalk. Their armaments, their swords, their shields, their lances, were all of iron. The animals they rode were as high as a roof top and looked like deer. Their dogs were huge, their eyes blazed yellow like fire. They moved about with their tongues hanging, always panting."

There are also some descriptions of the Spanish army during 1521 and the way many Conquistadors adopted feathered frontlets and how Cortes was guarded by a group of elite warriors, "like our Cuauhchicqueh and Otomie" if I recall correctly. Sadly I don't have the source right now.

If Timur had modern weapons the world world would be completely empty until native Americans colonized it several hundred years later.

I think Timur is a very interesting and underrated conquerer but some people estimate more people died in his conquests than in world war one

The aztecs would have throne the guns into a lake as soon as they discovered that they left enemies in a state that wouldn't allow them to be sacrificed.
Also, cortez still would have found a way, though he prolly would have had to use a fuckton more charisma. Dude was based as fuck

Modern guns would probably be better at wounding people for sacrifice

The 9mm was actually designed to wound rather than kill. This was so that enemy soldiers would try to rescue their wounded comrades, exposing themselves.
