Weaponization throughout history has taken various forms, evolving from simple tools to sophisticated instruments of war. Early humans initially used primitive weapons like spears, clubs, and slingshots for hunting and self-defense. As civilizations advanced, so did their weaponry. Ancient cultures such as the Greeks and Romans introduced innovations like swords and siege engines. The medieval period witnessed the development of formidable weapons like longbows, crossbows, and catapults. Gunpowder revolutionized warfare during the Renaissance, leading to the creation of firearms such as muskets and cannons.
