primitive weapon
Club or sling
A primitive weapon is one made from natural materials using traditional methods—stone knives, wooden spears, bows and arrows, clubs, slings.
The term appears in survival contexts, historical discussions, and legal definitions where certain jurisdictions regulate or exempt such weapons differently from firearms: The hunting regulations permit primitive weapons during bow season.
What counts as primitive varies by context; some definitions include black powder firearms.
