The Trojan Horse contained hoplites that were able to get within the enemy fortress, open the gates and let their fellow long-haired warriors from Greece in. The 10-year frontal assault and siege was not successful, the 'gift' strategy did the work thanks to Odysseus..

I believe it was the Trojan Horse, which the Greeks left on the beach of Troy (as an offering to the Gods) after supposedly retreating back to Greece. The Trojans brought the horse into the city in the hopes of using the giant horse as a way to gain favor from the gods for themselves. In the middle of the night, the Greeks climbed out of the giant horse and ransacked the city, effectively ending the Trojan War. Many incorrectly believe the Trojan Horse was actually a gift from the Greeks (a token of peace) rather than an offering to the gods, resulting in the phrase "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts".

The saying was in reference to the Trojan Horse which the Trojans were stupid enough to believe was a gift. Still that does not justify calling it a weapon.

It was the Trojan Horse, not so much a weapon, but a strategy...
