Weapon is a Attack Item.
About[]
It is a general term for tools and equipment used in battle.
In a broad sense, weapons and armaments used in wars and armed forces, as well as personnel and materials, are all referred to as ``weapons. In some cases, it may even include expressions (eg, "The speed of escape is a weapon," "A wealth of knowledge is a weapon," and "The breadth of connections is a weapon," etc.).
Weapons are tools that have the ability to attack with the original purpose of killing, damaging, capturing, destroying, and neutralizing, and against the background of these, they are also used for warning, intimidation, and deterrence. It is mainly used for combat, but there are sports competitions that imitate those and imitations and toys for theatrical performances.
Various tools and objects become weapons when people hold them in their hands and use them to attack. Since it is easy to grip and has a certain weight, it is suitable for use as a weapon, so ``things with a handle, that is, agricultural tools such as axes, harpoons, sickles, and hammers, and hunting tools. The types were easy to use and divert as weapons, and some of them developed into full-fledged weapons. There are also tools that are intended to be used as weapons in emergencies, such as Dark (a type of dagger), and the relationship between weapons and tools is deep.
In English, it is called ``weapon or ``arms, and in Chinese, it is called ``weapon and ``kikai in addition to weapons. The meanings they refer to are not identical to the Japanese narrow sense of "weapon".
A weapon's strengths and weaknesses are often a topic of discussion, but there is no such thing as a weapon that is ``better in all respects because strengths can become weaknesses as circumstances change. For example, the strength of a spear, "length", cannot even be brought into a confined space, and even if it can be brought in, it cannot be swung around sufficiently, which is a "disadvantage". Even guns with high destructive power cannot demonstrate their original capabilities if the supply of ammunition is delayed, and many such guns cannot be used at close range. Also, the disadvantages of compound weapons are that they require a long period of training to master their use due to their complexity, and multi-purpose weapons are not as good as specialized weapons for any purpose.
The components of such weapons include length, range, weight, power, speed, rapid fire, and operability. Factors such as reliability, durability, and portability are also questioned. There are also special weapons that require stealth. These strengths and weaknesses can be compensated to some extent by combining with other weapons and military classes, and by devising methods of operation and tactics.
Weapons sometimes have special meanings other than their abilities, such as symbols of ethnicity or power. In addition to weapons used in ceremonies, there are staffs that indicate authority and talismans. There are many weapons that use advanced manufacturing technology, and many of them have property value. In addition to the decoration, artistic value is found in the kind of functional beauty that weapons possess.
