Meriam Webster is quite useful in this regard.
1 : something (as a club, knife, or gun) used to injure, defeat, or destroy
2 : a means of contending against another
A post I was intending to pen involved the escalation of weapons, but it basically boiled down to the fact that weapons were used to settle disagreements. The Trojan Horse was used to deliver Greek soldiers past the Trojan defenses, much like a metal spike would be used to defeat plate armor. A jumbo jet dropping soldiers behind enemy lines delivers the injurious, damaging and/or victorious soldiers to the point where they can do more damage than charging into forward facing gun emplacements.
