It's a funny thing how things start out big and powerful, then progressively get smaller and less powerful. But, with that miniaturization they become much more focused and deadly. Weapons follow this pattern pretty closely, such as bombs and guns. I can only imagine showing up during the Napoleonic wars with a machine gun. It'd be incredible at least.
The question is, why do we like to continuously perfect things to make them smaller and more effective? Well, a tool that's heavy and bulky is less comfortable than one which is light and specifically designed to the task. And, we never stop tinkering because there just might be a better way that hasn't been tried yet. One thing about we humans, we love to experiment.
I'm not sure about snowball fights though, since getting clocked by a big snowball can knock you on your backside in nothing flat. But, if you have a snow fort then you can hide a huge pile of snowballs and pelt your enemies from the safety of fortifications! And then you could add a catapult and toss huge boulders of snow and decimate all attackers! Let the enemies of the fort not go unpunished! Yeaargh!
Hee hee. I love snowball fights.
