Australopithecus likely did not use weapons in the way modern humans do. Instead, they may have utilized natural tools, such as sharp stones or sticks, for tasks like cutting or foraging. Their primary means of defense would have been their physical strength and social behaviors rather than specialized weaponry. Overall, their tool use was rudimentary compared to later hominins.

Australopithecus, which lived around 4 to 2 million years ago, is not believed to have hunted using weapons. Evidence suggests that they primarily foraged for plant-based foods and may have scavenged small animals. They likely lacked the physical adaptations and cognitive skills associated with weapon use, which are more characteristic of later hominins such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Thus, while they may have interacted with their environment, there is no substantial evidence to suggest they hunted with tools or weapons.
