== Overview ==
While still primarily based on projectiles and chemical reactions, human weapons are more advanced than the weapons of the 21st century. They come with a variety of electronic gadgets such as ammo readouts and are significantly more reliable, seldom malfunctioning. They are also generally immune to [[electromagnetic pulse]]s. Still, there have been many advanced developments, such as electromagnetic accelerator weapons. The most prominent of these is the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], used as the main armament on UNSC warships, and in smaller form in ground-based weapons. Another electromagnetic weapon system, known as the [[railgun]], is used to a lesser degree. There have been developments in [[directed-energy weapon|energy weapons]] such as the [[Spartan Laser]] and the [[XEV9-Matos Nonlinear Pulse Cannon|pulse lasers]] used on [[UNSC prowler]]s. Advances in technology allow the development of highly efficient explosive devices, including the [[Lancet micro-missile]]s, capable of decimating main battle tanks.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 16''</ref>

One of the largest breakthroughs came in the mid-20th century where humans discovered that [[nuclear fission]] and [[Nuclear fusion|fusion]] can be used as a weapon to cause a large explosion. By the 26th century, there are several types of [[nuclear weapon]]s in the UNSC's arsenal, intended for both atmospheric and exoatmospheric use. Innovation in this area would also converge in the creation of humanity's most devastating weapon during the war effort, known as the [[NOVA bomb]].

+== Use by other factions ==
-In [[1945]], [[nuclear weapon]]s would be used for the first time by humans{{Ref/Book|Id=EncC1|Enc|Section=Chapter One: Timeline, Galactic Rebirth And The Covenant|Page=31}} and would continue to be used all the way into the 26th century.
