Home›Weapons Systems›Service Status›Prototype or ExperimentalBrowse ByPrototype or ExperimentalThis 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.FactsPrototype or ExperimentalConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEarliest Era RepresentedWell-attestedAncient 1Prototype or ExperimentalFilter Results59 entriesWeapon FamilyAllAerial Bombs and Cluster Munitions (2)Air-to-Air Missiles (4)Air-to-Ground Missiles and Guided Bombs (1)Ammunition and Cartridges (2)Anti-Satellite and Space-Based Weapons (1)Anti-Ship and Anti-Submarine Missiles (1)Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (1)Assault Rifles (6)Assault Rifles of Europe (2)Assault Rifles of Germany (2)Assault Rifles of the United States (2)Ballistic Missiles (4)Ballistic Missiles of Europe (1)Ballistic Missiles of North Korea (2)Ballistic Missiles of Russia and the Soviet Union (1)Cruise Missiles (1)Grenade Launchers (1)Heavy Machine Guns (2)Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Armored Personnel Carriers (1)Light Machine Guns (2)Multi-Barrel and Rotary Machine Guns (1)Nuclear Weapons and Strategic Bombs (2)Other Missiles and Guided Munitions (1)Other Pistols and Handguns (3)Other Small Arms and Personal Weapons (1)Pistols and Revolvers (6)Recoilless Guns and Rifles (1)Revolvers (1)Rifles and Carbines (11)Semi-Automatic and Battle Rifles (5)Semi-Automatic Pistols (2)Semi-Automatic Pistols of Asia-Pacific (1)Semi-Automatic Pistols of the United States (1)Shotguns (1)Submachine Guns (3)Surface-to-Air and Air Defense Missiles (5)Tanks (1)Weapon Type or ClassAllAir-to-surface hypersonic missile (1)Airborne Laser (ABL) anti-ballistic missile weapons system (1)Anti-satellite missile (1)Armored fighting vehicle (1)Assault rifle (1)Bullpup assault rifle (1)Cruiser tank (1)Direct-fire grenade launcher (1)Flintlock revolver (1)Folding personal defense weapon (1)Fully automatic combat shotgun (1)guided missile (12)Machine gun (4)Machine pistol (1)missile (3)Nuclear bomb design (1)Nuclear demolition weapon (1)Nuclear weapon (1)Orbital weapons platform (1)Prototype airbursting assault rifle (1)Recoilless gun (1)Rocket-propelled explosive device (1)rotary-barreled machine gun (1)Single-shot handgun (1)small arm (16)Submachine gun (1)Surface-to-air missile (1)thermonuclear warhead (1)CaliberAll.223 Remington (1).243 Winchester (1).276 Pedersen (1).30 caliber (1).30-06 Springfield (2).303 British (1).308 Winchester (1).32 ACP (1).45 ACP (1).50 BMG (2).50 caliber (1)12-gauge (1)136mm (1)15x115mm (1)20mm (1)25mm (1)40mm (1)5.45x39mm (1)5.56x29mm (.22 Scamp) (1)5.56x45mm annular-primed SCF (1)5.56x45mm NATO (6)6.5x52mm Carcano (1)6.5×52mm Mannlicher-Carcano (1)7.62x39mm (1)7.62x54mmR (1)7.7x58mm (1)7.7×58mm Arisaka (1)7.92x33mm (1)7.92×33mm Kurz (1)75mm (1)90mm (1)9x19mm (4)9x23mm (1)9×19 mm Parabellum (3)9×23mm Steyr (1)Airsoft pellet (1)Introduced EraAll1718 (1)1900 (1)1915 (1)1933 (1)1939 (1)1942 (1)1943 (2)1944 (1)1945 (2)1958 (1)1962 (1)1963 (1)1966 (1)1971 (2)1972 (1)1980 (1)1983 (1)1984 (3)1987 (1)2004 (1)2012 (1)2014 (1)2026 (1)OperatorAllAustralian Defence Force (1)British Army (2)Imperial Japanese Navy (2)Israeli Defense Forces (1)Soviet Armed Forces (1)Spanish Armed Forces (1)United States Air Force (3)United States Armed Forces (2)United States Army (2)United States Marine Corps (1)Wehrmacht (2)Wars Used InAllAngolan Civil War (1)Gulf War (1)Iran-Iraq War (1)Lebanese Civil War (1)Mexican Drug War (1)The Troubles (1)World War I (1)World War II (4)ManufacturerAllArmaments Bureau (1)Auto-Ordnance Company (1)Barrett Firearms Manufacturing (1)Birmingham Small Arms Company (1)Colt's Manufacturing Company (1)Diehl Defence (1)FN Herstal (1)General Dynamics Corporation (2)General Electric (1)Heckler & Koch (1)Henschel & Sohn (1)Hughes Aircraft Company (1)Interdynamic AB (1)Krušik Valjevo (1)Magpul (1)MBDA Deutschland GmbH (1)Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces (1)Myasishchev Design Bureau (1)New South Wales Government Railways (1)Northrop (1)NPO Mashinostroyeniya (1)Panhard (1)Peenemünde (2)Rafael Advanced Defense Systems (1)Ruhrstahl (1)SIG Group (1)Sterling Armaments Company (1)Steyr Arms (1)Sturm, Ruger & Co.
