No weaponds were used in the cold war... that's why it was "cold"; althought the following weapons were manufactured: Long-Range ballistics Nuclear Devices Chemical and Biological Warheads Submarine Launched Ballistics. A few shots were fired however by spies though, since we sent a few over and they did the same.

Do not read this whole thing, I am a retard and don't know anything about the Cold War

The cold war was a conflict between ideologies. The non-communist nations and their proxies struggled against the communist ideology espoused by the USSR and its proxies. While the struggle was based mostly on diplomacy and intelligence gathering, there were numerous wars and incursions which were directly connected to the greater conflict. The Korean War, the Cuban Revolution, the Cambodian Civil War, the Laotian Civil War, the Congo Crisis, the Guatemalan Civil War, the Second Malayan Emergency, the Vietnam War and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan were all wars/conflicts directly related to the Cold War.

During this time there were many new weapons developed ranging from improved firearms to ICBMs. New technology was used in tanks, jets, submarines, ships, helicopters, explosives and missile guidance systems. Some say that the wars fought during this time frame were just "tests" of new weapon systems.
