Weapon
A weapon, arm or armament is any device used with intent to inflict damage or harm. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as hunting, crime, law enforcement, self-defense, and warfare. In broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary or enemy target.
Weapon
When iron was found, the trees began to tremble, but the iron reassured them: 'Let no handle made from you enter into anything made from me, and I shall be powerless to injure you.'
Genesis Rabbah 5, Tales and Maxims from the Midrash by Rev. Samuel Rapaport, (1907), p. 61
Weapon
I have no part of my body, in front at least, that is left without scars; there is no weapon, used at close quarters, or hurled from afar, of which I do not carry the mark. Nay, I have been wounded by the sword, hand to hand; I have been shot with arrows, I have been struck from a catapult, smitten many a time with stones and clubs.
Alexander the Great, as quoted in The Man Alexander the Great, Awake! magazine (22 January 1972).
