i guess...
The first metal weapons were likely made by ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians and Egyptians around 3000-4000 BC. These early weapons were typically made of copper, which was one of the first metals used by humans for tools and weapons.
Sticks and stones have always been available for use as weapons. Either one could have been the first, but the stick may make more sense.
Iron was first used by humans around 1200 BCE during the Iron Age. This marked a significant technological advancement as iron tools and weapons were stronger and more durable than those made from earlier materials like bronze.
Chemical weapons were first used in war by Germany in WW1.Nuclear weapons were first used in war by the US in WW2.
anthropology
Early humans used rocks as tools for hunting and cooking, as weapons for self-defense and hunting, and for creating shelter or structures. They also used rocks for grinding surfaces and for creating fire.
Metals were first used by humans around 6,000 years ago during the Bronze Age. They were initially used to create tools, weapons, and decorative items. Copper was one of the first metals to be utilized, followed by bronze and iron.
Early humans likely learned to make weapons first, as they would have needed tools for hunting and protection. However, evidence suggests that the control and use of fire came shortly after, aiding in cooking food, providing warmth, and offering protection from predators.
