Gunpowder was used, but I'm not sure you know what the Cold War was. No shots were fired. It refers to the political tension between the US and the USSR. The Soviet Union was supporting the establishment of Communist governments in many countries and the US was determined to prevent this. The primary weapon was the deployment of nuclear intercontinental missiles which ensured that if either side struck first the other would still have an arsenal capable of destroying the aggressor.

There were just over 300 deaths in the cold war. There were also 40 Nato planes shot down. Weapons were not used but they were manufactured. Both Nato and Warsaw pact improved their small arms. The US started to produce the M16a1 in 1950s. The Russians started to produce the AK-47 in 1947. Both also improved the tanks Americans improved their tanks and started using the M1 Abrams tank and the Russians improved their tanks from the T54 and the T55 to the T62 main battle tanks. Its main gun was 115mm it was also equipped with an anti aircraft machine gun and a 7.62 machine gun used on infantry. Both started to produce jets instead of propeller aircraft. Russia was the first to use nuclear power on the submarines making it virtually silent. Both sides had advanced there weaponry as time went on.
