when was weaponry first used

[Quizmonster]

In human terms, when one of our primitive ancestors first picked up a stick or a stone in anger. If you include the animal kingdom, perhaps snakes which spit venom, skunks which emit foul-smelling repellent and other such creatures might be said to be using 'weaponry' too.

[tartanwiz]

Certainly in Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) times, Early Homo Sapiens used stone tools and weapons, and upright-walking man-apes such as Australopithicus (4MYA) would no doubt have used sticks and thrown stones, because it is known that modern apes do this.
