Nah waterloo was much later
By the time of waterloo we were using muskets and both sides had cannons.
In Agincourt, round one, we used longbows but the French had just started using cannons. But the early cannons couldn't hit Rick Waller at 10 paces so our deadly accurate longbows massacred them.
Then five years later and with the invention of steel bore drilling, cannons were suddenly very accurate and more powerful. We were still using longbows. We wuz robbed.
But yeah, the whole two fingers thing was longbows/French chopping them orf.
