Mankind would have learned to shoot rocks, and
multiple firing arrows like the Chinese had. We would have

The world would be a very different place. Impossible to say in detail just exactly how it would have turned out.

the world would be different, the battle of Stalingrad would have been a massive urban mob fight, the battle of the somme Would've been a long exchange of trebuchets and catapults and massive arrow volleys, trenches would've been replaced for under ground counter parts, the battle of kursk would've been the largest..... mounted Catapult wooden tank battle in history?
