Introduction
From the invention of stone tools to today’s high-tech weaponry, humans have always found a way to kill one another. Over time, weapons like bows and swords have been replaced by more efficient and deadlier ones like guns, bombs, and missiles. That said, there are some weapons that we still use today. And while they may not be as advanced as their modern counterparts, they can still be used in a variety of situations. In this blog post we will take a look at some of these “old school” weapons that you might want to consider adding to your arsenal:
Bows and arrows
Bows and arrows were used by primitive man for hunting, as well as in battles. Early bows were made of wood, but eventually advanced to using animal sinew and other plant materials. They could be used on foot or mounted on horseback to shoot an arrow further than a human could throw it outright.
Swords
- Swords have been used since the bronze age, and they’re still used in modern times.
- You can use a sword in fencing or combat.
Spears and javelins
Spears and javelins were used for a variety of things. They could be used for throwing at enemies, hunting animals, fishing and killing small game. These weapons were also great for fighting each other. The spears and javelins would be used to kill their enemies or scare them off so that they wouldn’t attack again. They are also known as the oldest types of weapons ever made, which means that people have been using them for thousands of years!
Firearms
Firearms are projectile weapons that use the explosive force of gunpowder to launch a projectile at high speeds. Since the first firearms were developed in China around the 1300s, there have been many different types of firearms throughout history. The first firearm was called the matchlock and used a burning slow match to light gunpowder inside its barrel at regular intervals so that it would fire continuously until all of its ammunition ran out.
Chemical weapons
Chemical weapons can be deadly, even when used in small amounts. The first use of chemical weapons was in World War I and the United States used them during World War II. They are typically delivered by bombs, missiles, and rockets or artillery shells and mortar rounds.
There are many types of weapons throughout the ages
The bow and arrow: The bow and arrow is one of the oldest weapons known to man. It’s simple design makes it easy to manufacture, but difficult to use effectively. If you want to make sure that you’re hitting your target, there’s a lot more involved than just pointing and shooting!
The sword: The sword has been used as a weapon since prehistoric times. It has been used in wars across cultures all over the world for centuries, making it one of the most popular weapons in history (and you can see why). With such an iconic shape and design, this weapon deserves its place at number 1 on our list!
Conclusion
We hope you enjoyed our blog about the different types of weapons used throughout history. Weapons are an important part of our lives and we use them for many purposes.

As you saw in the video above, there are many different types of weapons that have been used throughout history including bows and arrows, swords, spears and javelins, firearms (guns), chemical weapons like poison gas bombs etc…
