In this article, we can discuss the list of weapons that were used from the ancient period to the 21st century and the Inventors of Weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Weapons or armaments are requirements or implements which are used to intending to harm or destroy others. Earlier used as a device for self-defense, the utility status of weapons changed to hunting, crimes, law implementation, and wars.

In both cases, it releases large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter.<\/p>\n<p>A nuclear device no larger than a conventional bomb can desolate an entire city by blast, fire, and radiation. Considering the fact that these are weapons of mass destruction, the propagation of nuclear weapons is a focus of international relations policy.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear weapons have been deployed only twice, by the United States (US), against Japan including the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during World War II.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First was on August 6, 1945, the U.S. Army Air Forces detonated a uranium gun-type fission bomb nicknamed Little Boy over the city of Hiroshima<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, three days after the bombing over Hiroshima, on August 9, the U.S. Army Air Forces detonated a plutonium implosion-type fission bomb nicknamed Fat Man over Nagasaki.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These bombings without doubt caused injuries that resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 civilians and military personnel, which is really a dark phase of history. Nuclear weapons are still considered to be the power of defence system of the nation, and 90% of these are considered to be possessed by United States and Russia.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Biological Weapons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are otherwise called germ weapon, includes the disease-producing agents like bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, fungi, toxins, or other biological agents can be utilized as weapons against humans, animals, or plants.<\/p>\n<p>Biological weapons, like any other chemical, radiological or nuclear weapons, are commonly referred to as weapons of mass destruction. Deadly biological weapons may be capable of causing mass deaths, but they are unsuited for mass destruction of infrastructure, buildings, or equipment. Most countries have agreed to ban the entire class, because of the potential pandemic spread and the difficulty involved in controlling disease effects, and the simple fear that they stimulate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_Weapons_with_India\"><\/span><strong>List of Weapons with India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Small Arms<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Shot Gun<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>SMGs<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><strong>Assault rifles<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Pistol Auto 9mm 1A<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">12 Bore PAG<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">IWI Tavor X95 SMG<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">SIG-716 i<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Franchi SPAS-15<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">SIG MPX<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">AK-103<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Glock<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Heckler &amp; Koch MP5<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">FN SCAR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Beretta 92FS<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Micro-Uzi<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">IMI Tavor TAR-21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Beretta Px4 Strom<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Br\u00fcgger &amp; Thomet MP9<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">M16 rifle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\">Beretta Px4 Strom<\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">M4A1 Carbine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">T91 assault rifle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">AR-M1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">AKM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">AK-63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Vz. 58<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"160\">Mpi-KmS 72<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Other than this, India has a collection of Sniper rifles, Machine Guns, Explosives, rockets, and mortars, Armoured combat vehicles (Arjun, T-90S Bhishma, T-90M, T-72 Ajeya, Ajeya MK2), Infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-2 Sarath), Armoured personnel carriers, Tank destroyers, Missile systems, and Radars.<\/p>\n<p>Ballistic and cruise missiles (BrahMos, Prithvi (II, III), Agni (I-V), Agni Prime, Shaurya, Nirbhay).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quotes_about_Weapons_and_War\"><\/span><strong>Quotes about Weapons and War<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Knowledge is a better weapon than a sword by Patricia Briggs, Raven&#8217;s Shadow<\/li>\n<li>Every little thing about you can be a weapon, if you&#8217;re clever enough by Courtney Summers, Sadie<\/li>\n<li>Silence is the ultimate weapon of power by Charles de Gaulle<\/li>\n<li>But indifference would ultimately commend itself as a devastating weapon by Lionel Shriver<\/li>\n<li>World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism by Stephen Ambrose<\/li>\n<li>The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable.
