Weapon

A weapon, arm, or armament is any device used with intent to inflict damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such as crime, law enforcement, self-defense, and warfare. In a broader context, weapons may be construed to include anything used to gain a strategic, material or mental advantage over an adversary.

While just about any ordinary objects such as sticks, stones, cars, or pencils can be used as weapons, many are expressly designed for the purpose – ranging from simple implements such as clubs, swords and guns, and to complicated modern intercontinental ballistic missiles, biological and cyberweapons.

History

Prehistoric

The use of objects as weapons has been observed among chimpanzees, leading to speculation that early hominids first began to use weapons as early as five million years ago. However, this can not be confirmed using physical evidence because wooden clubs, spears, and unshaped stones would not have left an unambiguous record. The earliest unambiguous weapons to be found are the Schöninger Speere: eight wooden throwing spears dated as being more than 300,000 years old. At the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, numerous human skeletons dating to 10,000 years ago have major traumatic injuries to the head, neck, ribs, knees and hands, including obsidian projectiles still embedded in the bones, that would have been caused by arrows and clubs in the context of conflict between two hunter-gatherer groups.

Plot: Award-winning writer/director Ryan Braund delivers an explosive, action-packed feature film debut with 'Safehouse', an independent British sci-fi/action film following four small-time criminals who are cornered into their hideout by the police after stealing a safe full of money. However, instead of arresting them, the police seize this opportunity to test a new, high-tech weapon on them - an unstoppable killing machine. Set within old, decaying warehouses in a remote part of town, these humble thugs are less than prepared for the onslaught of bullets, projectiles and other high-tech tricks this monster can throw at them. Our lead, 'Karl', is determined to fight back against the unknown, despite risking never seeing his daughter again. One by one our 'lab rats' are caught in the cross-hairs as the villainous law enforcement demonstrate what the robot can do. The only things keeping the thieves alive are a police radio interceptor... and an arsenal of weapons.

Weapon

Serving, testing, armed race begun
Depleted, uranium, flower with power of sun
Complex, militant, woven ingrained us all
Time-bomb, elegant, cast system done
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
Living grade, construct
Feeds on reconstruction
Mercenary, contracts
Nothing lay under the sun
Six-gun, neighbors, watch, villages slide
Uni-bombed, contracts, surf the system unfettered
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
Jimmie's clearly out of luck, time is gone logic is lost matters haven't
Vanished what is here has been un-done, soaking in the aftermath, hollow
Breathing in the bed, Mezame sheets of rotting things, the best kept
Secrets pillowing, divine host, kill the ghost, target faced with
Shadowed-voice, keeping massive overflow from sweeping in the way…
Fake bomb, contest
Con-structionless, clones
Dipped cone, war-head
Tripled atomic drones
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
I want a way out to get out fast
Before it becomes too real
They want a war in this futures mess
Instinction I think is for real
