The older weapons in their time would have had a better chance.
The Sherman tanks, though they sucked, could be mass produced enough strike enough fear since if you saw one, you could expect so much more. The Tigers plowed through Allied attacks and defenses since its was one of the best, if not the BEST tank in WW II.
I believe the M1 Garand was the best rifle for quite some time. 8 shots could be fired at your enemy while the enemy had to use a bolt action rifle.
These were milestone accomplishments in past wars but they couldn't even stop it all together since its impossible.
War is not one that can be stopped with weapons. It started by feuds, not because one was more advanced than the other.
