Often questions arise whenever we think about weapons, their social relevance, impact, and future. Questions like Should weapons be made available to the local public in our Country like many other, and if weapons are allowed with proper rules and background checks to common citizens then what will be its effect on Women Safety, Crime Rates, Law and Order management, etc. What are the various types of weapons that can be licensed to citizens, should weapons training be made important or compulsory in our country like many others where military training is compulsory to improve self-defense and improve utility in case of any personal or national emergencies? In This Paper We will focus on such questions and will try to provide their probable solutions. We will also be provided with certain probable situations that might occur if the countries all around the world decide to get rid of their nuclear arsenals and we will also discuss the future of weapons and weapons in development like Direct Energy Weapons (DEW) or Laser tech Weapons, etc. Direct Energy Weapons are a type of weapon that uses highly focused energy to destroy or damage their targets. These types of weapons are the heart of science fiction movies from Star Wars to Iron Man. Direct Energy Weapons can be used to destroy the target either by the hard-kill means destroying them like conventional weapons or soft kill i.e., destroying certain components like a board, etc. so that the enemy loses its ability to operate. Countries like China, Russia, India, the United States of America, United Kingdom are developing these types of weapons while Iran and Turkey claim that they have these weapons in their respective active service. Although after decades of research and development Direct Energy weapons are still in the experimental stage only time will tell whether these come to practice use and replace conventional weapons.
