Gunpowder and nukes are good choices, but here are some lesser heroes:

Horse-mounted archer: dominant weapon system until the gunpowder firearm.

Bayonet: Ended the dominance of cavalry over musket infantry.

Machinegun: dominated the infantry battlefield.

Tank: Ended the dominance of linear infantry formations and machineguns. Mobile warfare.

RPG (bazooka, panzerfaust): Ended the ability of tanks to overrun infantry.

Submarine: Has sunk more ship tonnage than any other type.

Aircraft: dominates the rest.

Droptank: Allowed Allied fighters to range over Germany, resulting in the destruction of the Luftwaffe.
