Since the First World War, aircraft have carried weapons: first machine guns that fired through the propeller, then cannons, bombs and, from the 1950s, guided missiles. The weapons often became as famous as the aircraft that carried them.

On these pages you find the air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, aircraft guns and bombs of the Aircrafttotal Encyclopedia, with their history, the aircraft that carry them and links to more information.
