A weapon was an object designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.

The Moment was the most powerful and most dangerous weapon in all of creation.

During the course of the Last Great Time War, all of these weapons were removed from the Arsenal and deployed against the Dalek threat. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) Their usage of the Arsenal led to the creation of the Dalek Eternity Circle who constructed the Temporal Cannon as a counter. (PROSE: Engines of War [+]Loading...["Engines of War (novel)"]) During the closing days of the war, the Daleks made an effort to claim the weapon factories at Villengard only for the War Doctor to detonate a molecular fruit bomb that turned the area into a banana grove.
