Humans have developed a number of '''weapons''' throughout their history.

==Overview==
===Infantry weapons===
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. 

===Larger scale weapons===
The most prominent of these larger scale weapons is the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], used as the main armament on UNSC warships, and in smaller form in ground-based weapons. Larger scale [[directed-energy weapon|energy weapons]] exist such as with 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>

==History==
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.
