Development of Infantry Weapons

The development of infantry weapons has evolved significantly from simple tools to advanced technology. Early weapons, like spears and bows, relied on physical strength and skill. The invention of gunpowder in the 9th century led to firearms, increasing range and lethality. Over time, weapons became more accurate and easier to use, with innovations like automatic rifles and assault weapons, which allow soldiers to fire multiple rounds quickly. Modern infantry weapons now include smart technology, enhancing targeting and safety, while also integrating advanced materials to reduce weight. Each advancement reflects the changing nature of warfare and the need for improved soldier effectiveness.
