Weapon
For other uses, see Weapon (disambiguation). See military technology and equipment for a comprehensive list of weapons and doctrines.
A weapon is a tool used to injure, incapacitate, or kill an adversary. Weapons may be used to attack and defend, and consequently also to threaten or protect. Metaphorically, anything used to damage (even psychologically) can be referred to as a weapon. A weapon can be as simple as a club or as complex as an intercontinental ballistic missile.
