Swords

Swords DescriptionA sword is a bladed weapon (edged weapon) Used primarily for cutting or thrusting In the most narrow sense A sword consists of a straight blade with two edges and a hilt. However, in some cases the term may also refer to weapons with a single edge (backsword)

Use of SwordsThe use of a sword is known as swordsmanshipThese are used in old times in the place of guns.Today only knives are used by solders to kill enemy silently.

Pistols & Revolvers

Astra flacon

Pistols A pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder.

RevolversA revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. The original name was "revolving gun"; the short-form "revolver" is universally used.

Use of Pistols & RevolversUsed in small operations.

Used in low range area.

Not used when we have to fight long.

Revolvers are also used for death games.

Machine guns

Ak-47

Machine gunsA machine gun is a fully automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire rounds in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute.

M-16 USA Made gun

Sniper

Uses of Machine GunsUsed in warsMostly when the enemy are in large amountHeavy machine guns are used to target aircrafts

Grenades

GrenadesThe term Grenade refers to any explosive device designed to be thrown by hand. Grenade Launchers are firearms designed to fire explosive projectile grenades.

Uses of GrenadesUsed in heavy operations and warsUsed on the group of enemiesAlso used on the place where we think that enemy is hidden

Rocket L:aunchers

Stinger missile

Rocket launcherA rocket launcher is any device that launches a rocket-propelled projectile, although the term is often used in reference to mechanisms that are portable and capable of being operated by an individual.

Uses of Rocket LaunchersUsed to target a vehicle, helicopter and buildingUsed to target at long distanceMostly used on vehicle when we have to stop enemy from escaping

Tanks

TanksA tank is a tracked, armored fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-caliber main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns

Uses of TanksUsed in big warsUsed to target any thing because it is provided with machine guns and canonsMostly used to mach and blow up every thing on the root

Submarines

A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. It differs from a submersible, which has more limited underwater capability. The term submarine most commonly refers to a large crewed autonomous vessel However, historically submarine can also refer to medium-sized or smaller vesselsSubmarines

Uses of SubmarinesUsed in under water fightsAlso used to target a ship on the surface of waterMostly used very deep in seas for defiance purposes

Aircrafts

AircraftsAn aircraft is a vehicle that is able to fly by gaining support from the air, or, in general, the atmosphere of a planet. Rockets and missiles also travel through the atmosphere

Uses of AircraftsMostly used in very big wars and to defiance airUsed for both to target enemy's aircrafts and groundMostly used to target large area of ground

Weapons of mass destructionChemical weaponBiological weaponNuclear weapon

The threat that the nuclear weapons of mass destruction pose to the entire human civilizations and the whole of humanity is serious. There are different sorts of people who worry about the lack of patriotic, linguistic, religious, ethnic importance/values in the society. But not much people worry about the real threat to the entire mankind including that of the religious, ethnic, cultural values through the nuclear weapons.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Chemical weapons did not become true weapons of mass destruction (WMD) until they were introduced in their modern form in World War I (191418). The German army initiated modern chemical warfare by launching a chlorine attack at Ypres, Belgium, on April 22, 1915, killing 5,000 French and Algerian troops and momentarily breaching their lines of defense. German use of gas and mustard was soon countered by similar tactics from the Allies. By wars end, both sides had used massive quantities of chemical weapons, causing an estimated 1,300,000 casualties, including 91,000 fatalities. The Russian army suffered about 500,000 of these casualties, and the British had 180,000 wounded or killed by chemical arms. One-third of all U.S. casualties in World War I were from mustard and other chemical gases, roughly the ratio for all participants combined. CHEMICAL WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

. Altogether, the warring states employed more than two dozen different chemical agents during World War I, including mustard gas, which caused perhaps as many as 90 percent of all chemical casualties from that conflict.

Cont.

Biological warfare has been part of human conflict throughout the ages. Biological agents were used in many of the conflicts of the 20th century and their use is now reported daily in the headlines. Crude methods such as using dead or diseased animals to foul wells or gifts of contaminated blankets and clothes have been replaced by delivery systems of missiles, airplanes, and the postal service. Biological agents are gaining status as a terrorist's weapon of choice

BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS

Many biological agents, including bacteria, viruses, and toxins, can be used as weaponsCont

World War OneWe were all of us cogs in a great machine which sometimes rolled forward, nobody knew where, Sometimes backwards Nobody knew why.

ERNST TOLLER

Technology had advanced considerably in the 40 years before the war and new weapons were developed over the course of WWI. These developments in military technology forever changed the way wars are fought.

The major advances in land warfare were the following. Improved Rifles for infantry improved range and accuracy. Machine guns had high rates of fire and were very deadly against large groups of infantry. Grenades gave portable firepower to infantrymen. Artillery ranges and firepower improved and the big guns claimed more lives than any other weapon of war. Tanks were used to punch holes in trenches Submarines were used to attack shipping in an attempt to cripple British naval supply lines Aircrafts were first used in a combat role in WWI. Warfare has never been the same since

Weapon technology in different fields

Nuclear is used NOT just for

Making weapons

OR

Electricity

Radioisotopes, used in medicine and for research: Nuclear medicine is used in radiation therapy for treating cancers

Radiopharmaceuticals and radiotracers are used in diverse applications such as in diagnostic procedures in medicine, for advanced chemical analysis in research, for specific treatment of ailments, for drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry, etc.

Nuclear Energy has numerous non-power uses, too

For sterilization of medical equipment

For irradiating agricultural produce to increase the shelf-life

Agriculture

Food Preservation

For stopping the growth micro-organisms to avoid food poisoning

Used in dentistry to find out hidden abnormalitiesFor diagnosing osteoporosis and fractures in bonesNon-destructive testing: for welding errors or cracks in buildings, pipelines and structuresBaggage surveillance at airportsIn various industrial applications

X-Rays

Smoke Detectors

Dronesare more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Essentially, a droneis a flying robot. The aircraft may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.

TheBurraq(Urdu:) is anunmanned combat aerial vehicle(UCAV) developed and built by theNational Engineering and Scientific Commission(NESCOM), a civil scientific research and development organization ofPakistan, along with thePakistan Air Force(PAF). Primarily used by the PAF, it has also been used by thePakistan Army(PA) in its counter-insurgencyoperations in north-west Pakistan.
