WEAPONRY Meaning and Definition

1. Weaponry refers to the collection or range of weapons that are specifically designed and employed for combat, defense, or offense. It is a broad term that encompasses all types of tools, devices, or instruments that can be used to inflict harm, damage, or even death upon living beings or to destroy or disable objects or structures.

   Weaponry includes a wide array of weapons, which can be categorized into various types based on their intended purpose, construction, or effectiveness. These can range from primitive weapons such as spears, bows, swords, and axes, to more modern weapons like firearms, explosives, missiles, and chemical or biological agents.
