The beginning of time

Throughout  history man has killed man, but over time man has gotten better and more efficient at it . At the beginning of time they used their hands to kill each other, later they made tools to KILL better and more efficient. The discovery of metal was very helpful to man, then there was gunpowder.

Oh the devastation off humanity! И победа за нами !
From there they made leaps and bounds into the art of war and killing. Using weapons like cannons and guns, new strategies on the battlefield, and new defences for buildings and personal defences. The amount of different weapons and types of weapons is amazing. There has been 15,000 thousand plus years of weapon developmental and through the developmental of weapons we have all the technology we have to day. The types weapons range form hand to hand or fist-to-cuffs, to long range weapons like Sniper rifle, Missile and Artillery.

Weapons have always played a crucial role in society, molding and changing the course of history. Weapons have destroyed civilizations and created new ones on top of the old ones. In the ancient days, when Egypt was at its peak, the Hyksos' invaded it only because they had superior weapons made of iron. They burst into Egypt using chariots a tactical and logistical innovation which amazed the Egyptians.




The Macedonians changed the face of war be being siege weapons such as the catapult and field weapons such as the pike, which was employed to deadly effect by heavily armed infantrymen arranged in phalanxes. The Romans subsequently improved the quality and technology of siege equipment, arms and armor, and battle tactics.





Gunpowder, a Chinese invention, was introduced on the battlefields of Europe in the Middle Ages, thereby revolutionizing military strategy and introducing a whole new range of propellent-based ordnance. After their defeat in World War I, the Germans began devising new methods of creating superior weapons, such as the jet fighter. In general, though, World War II caused an arms race that in the development of the ATOMIC BOMB.
  
There were two defraud types of nuclear weapons use in World War II a gun-type fission weapon code-named "Little Boy" winch woes dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in August 6, 1945 by the Boeing B-29 Super-fortress Enola Gay owned and operated by the United States Army Air Forces. And a implosion-type code-named "Fat Man" winch woes dropped on the  Japanese city of Nagasaki in August 9, 1945 by the Boeing B-29 Super-fortress Bockscar owned and operated by the United States Army Air Forces.

But do not forget that the new advances of war and weapons there where also the medical advances and technological advances. Like blood transfusion and the scapula.
