projectile weapon
Armament launching objects at targets
A projectile weapon is any device designed to launch an object toward a target, typically to cause harm or damage.
This broad category includes ancient weapons like bows, slings, and blowguns, as well as modern firearms and missile systems.
The defining feature is that the weapon itself remains with the user while something else—an arrow, bullet, or rocket—travels to strike the target, distinguishing projectile weapons from melee weapons like swords or clubs.
