the first arms control ban in history in the west was a papal decree banning the use of cross bows as dishonorable weapon in like the 1300s

medieval people were *perfectly* capable of recognizing that different kinds of weapons had different lethalities and different ethical dimensions

WMD also includes things like bio and chemical weapons, not just nuclear. including, like, napalm and other defoliants, or mustard gas. You don't have to kill x number of people or ruin a city in one go to count as a WMD, just be meaningfully different from other/common weapons. A dragon definitely counts as WMD.

I would never try to suggest that medieval people were incapable of recognizing different ethical dimensions.

Honestly, I think I might just object to WMDs as a category in general.
