In the future, humanity will need to use different and more advanced weapons in order to both defend and attack other aliens or other factions on Earth or whatever other planets we may have colonised. For this website, we will be using our current knowledge of science to predict what weapons may be developed in the future. This is by no means a definative source on what will happen, and this website will not include weapons that use science that we in the 21st century do not even know about.
There are 5 different catagories of future weapons that I will be using.
Each weapon can be separated by scope, with personal weapons being small and limited in scope, only able to injure or maim small amounts of people and megaweapons being the largest and most destructive, being able to wipe out all life on a planet with a single strike.
