'''Projectile Weapons''' are devices which launch a shell at an enemy. For purposes of this article, gyro-jet weapons such as Bolters are included, but [[Missile launcherWeapons|Missiles, Rockets]], and [[Energy Weapons|energy-based weapons]] are excluded.
Projectile weapons have their origins far back in human history, perhaps prehistorical, with slings and arrows. They are as reliable and effective now as they were then. They come in a wide range and forms from high strength to high rate of fire to a basic combat weapon. For larger projectile weapons, see [[Ordnance Weapons]].
