Don't even need to go that far. History has shown us that just throwing a non-radioactive rock at someone is a weakness
I argue that the entire history of weapon development has been "figure out better way to throw better rock".
It’s funny when you learn that an ‘advanced weapon’ in hypothetical interplanetary warfare is ‘fling an asteroid into their planet’.
For conventional weapons, sure. But I don't think your description fits flamethrowers, sonic, or laser weaponry.
Flamethrowers use oil products, which are part of petrochemistry. "Petro" comes from the Greek word for "rock".
Liquid dino-rock
plankto-rock, if we want to pedant (and we do)
Flamethrower - throw burning rock Sonic - throw tiny rocks Laser - throw even tinier rocks
You could even argue that throwing rocks is (one of) the human superpower(s).
