Going from a pistol to a rifle, then from a rifle to a machine gun, then from a machine gun to a tank, is an example of "escalation."

Which is just about what happened in Vietnam; it went from a guerrilla war using small arms (rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, hand grenades, etc.) then starting in 1964 it escalated to jet bombers, then in 1965 B52 bombers and Patton tanks! By 1965 the US had a real war on their hands!
