Close Quarters Combat Weapon System: Difference between revisions

For use in battle, knives have been used almost since the dawn of warfare, as a sharp piece of rock, and then metal proved effective during a period of time where projectile weapons were not readily available. The combat knife later branched off and became a sword, while others used daggers. For hundreds of years, knives and swords became the weapon of choice for soldiers. Even after the invention of the firearm, knives were still used as bayonets for close-quarters-combat. Sabers were still issued in World War 1. As war tactics shifted from trench warfare to attrition warfare, knives became last-resort weapons or simple tools. By 2553, the [[UNSC]] still uses knives, showing that such an easily accessible and created weapon still runs strong even thousands of years later.
