Perhaps nothing is more deadly to aircraft than portable anti-aircraft systems such as these.

Anti-Tank Weapon Systems Anti-Tank
The anti-tank system was refined in World War War, made deadlier today thanks to technology.
Automatic Rifles

The tried-and-true system has long been a steady performer, seeing countless conflicts across the globe.

Howitzers Howitzers
Potent and portable systems allowing infantrymen to take the fight to the enemy with power and mobility.
Machine Guns Machine Guns
The machine gun burst onto the scene across the multiple bloody battlefields that made up World War 1.
Mortars Mortars
When you cant see them, flushing them out or keeping their heads down is the alternative.
Muskets Muskets
Forefather to the modern rifle, the musket changed the world upon its inception into warfare.
Pistols and Handguns Pistols
Pistols have long been the sidearm of choice for civilian, military, sport and security use worldwide.
Revolvers Revolvers
After the Flintlock and before the modern day repeating handgun, the multiple-shot revolver was king.
Shotguns Shotguns
The shotgun has served for over one hundred years, providing a certain "punch" at the point of attack.
Sniper Rifles Sniper Rifles
Perhaps the most intriguing component of the modern battlefield is the Sniper and the tools of his trade.
Infantry Weapons Special Weapons

Submachine Guns Submachine Guns
The soldier gains the firepower of the machine gun along with portability without the excessive weight.

Despite all of the advancements in modern battlefield technology, no one unit remains as important to the mission at hand as does infantryman. From the days of Ancient Assyria and Rome to the streets of Baghdad and Kabul, the individual soldier is still the key element to the success of any military operation.

His individual exploits throughout history have often meant the difference between battles won and lost, lives committed or spared. Armed with the latest in personal weapons and body armor, the soldier has always been an integral part of the battlefield - charged with the duty to conquer or be conquered - and laying down the groundwork for other battlefield implements to come into play.

From spear and bronze shield to automatic weapon and Kevlar, the army fights or retreats based on what these individuals can do - and the infantryman is only as good as his equipment, training and the men around him.
