Weapon Type or Class

This dimension sorts weapon systems by their basic class, a firearm, a tank, a missile or a biological weapon. Wikipedia notes that weapons range "from simple implements such as clubs and swords to complicated modern firearms, tanks, missiles and biological weapons." Browsing by weapon class keeps weapon systems of the same kind grouped together.
