Home›Small Arms And Sidearms›Service Status›In ServiceBrowse ByIn ServiceThis dimension marks whether a weapon system is still in active service, retired or still in development. Wikipedia notes that something repurposed or enhanced for war "is termed weaponized," a status that, like active service itself, can change over the life of a weapon system. Browsing by service status separates weapon systems still in use from those retired.FactsIn ServiceSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested950 1In
