Arms and munitions
Weaponry is a collective noun for weapons, especially military weapons considered as a group.
The term emphasizes the arsenal aspect—the full range of arms available to a fighting force or nation.
The country's nuclear weaponry remains a closely guarded secret.
Medieval weaponry included swords, crossbows, and siege engines.
Unlike the simpler weapons, weaponry often carries connotations of organized military capability or technological sophistication.
