Weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suicide weapons are typically explosive in nature and exploit the willingness of their operator to not survive the attack to reach their target. In ancient times, from the dawn of humanity through the Classical civilizations of Greece and Rome, weapons were primarily extensions of an individual's strength, essentially making up for the human body's lack of natural weapons such as claws. Sometimes referred to as the Age of Rifles, this period was characterized by the development of firearms for infantry and cannons for support, as well as the beginnings of mechanized weapons such as the machine gun. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weapon   (182 words)

Weapons of mass destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, are rarely used because their use is essentially an "invitation" for a WMD retaliation, which in turn could escalate into a war so destructive it could easily destroy huge segments of the world's population.

Weapons of mass destruction can be high explosives or nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons, but exclude the means of transporting or propelling the weapon where such means is a separable and divisible part of the weapon. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weapons_of_mass_destruction   (3168 words)

David Kelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kelly's work as a member of the UNSCOM team led him to visit Iraq 37 times, and his success in uncovering Iraq's biological weapons program caused Rolf EkĂ©us to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Weapons and Tactics -- Ch 11 - Brig (Retd) ZA KHAN Battle is the firing of weapons by armour, artillery, infantry and aircraft to prevent the enemy from using his weapons and moving on the battlefield; it is also moving on the battlefield to close with the enemy while neutralising the enemy weapons and movement. Protection against ERW weapons is provided by 25 centimetres of concrete or 35 centimetres of moist earth, this reduces the ERW effects by 90 % and doubling of the protection reduces it to 1 %, armoured fighting vehicles reduce effects by about 25 % but causes armour to become radio active. The difficulty in separating strategy and the tactical use of nuclear weapons which may result in escalated retaliation has prevented the use of tactical nuclear weapons. www.defencejournal.com /2001/august/tactics.htm   (5457 words)

Weapons :: d20srd.org It is possible to throw a weapon that isn’t designed to be thrown (that is, a melee weapon that doesn’t have a numeric entry in the Range Increment column on Table: Weapons), but a character who does so takes a -4 penalty on the attack roll. A character can fight with both ends of a double weapon as if fighting with two weapons, but he or she incurs all the normal attack penalties associated with two-weapon combat, just as though the character were wielding a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. An arrow used as a melee weapon is treated as a light improvised weapon (-4 penalty on attack rolls) and deals damage as a dagger of its size (critical multiplier ×2). www.d20srd.org /srd/equipment/weapons.htm   (5369 words)
