Melee (Contd)
Knives are very efficient at close-quarters combat (Knife) , some
weapons are better at other tasks than others. For example, you
wouldnt stab a door down with a knife. You would probably use an axe,
or sledgehammer to get the job done. Most melee weapons in a pinch
are improvised, like bricks or things laying on the ground.

Firearms
Firearms are very good when
you need to hit a long range
target. There are many
different types of firearms
such as handguns, shotguns
and rifles. (Howcast)

Handgun
A handgun is a firearm that
is designed to be handheld.
It is very popular because it
easy to carry. There are
many types of handguns
such as a pistol and
revolver. The main
difference between the two
is the revolver has a
revolving cylinder and a
pistol is any handgun
without a revolving cylinder.
(Handgun)

Shotguns
When you shoot a shotgun
the pellets spread out. Since
it spreads it makes shotguns
good for short range. Makes
it easier to hit moving
targets. You dont need
perfect aim when using a
shotgun. (Shotgun)

Rifles
Rifles are the best gun for
shooting long range. There are
grooves in the barrel which
make the bullet spin when it
comes and therefore makes
the firearm very accurate.
(Rifle)

Ballistic Weaponry
Ballistics is the science of mechanics
that deals with the launching, flight,
behavior, and effects of projectiles,
especially bullets,gravity bombs,
rockets. The science or art of
designing and accelerating projectiles
so as to achieve a desired
performance(Ballistics).Cannon

Polearms
Polearms were common weapons on
medieval European battlefields. Their
range and impact force made them
effective weapons against armored
warriors on horseback, because they
could penetrate armor(Pole
Weapons). The Renaissance saw a
plethora of different varieties.
Polearms in modern times are largely
constrained to ceremonial military
units(Medieval Polearms).
