Introduction
[edit]In the Introduction, the final paragraph states, " As work with the weapons effect progressed, researchers also demonstrated the weapons priming effect. This variation refers to even weapon-related words leading to more aggressive behavior in humans." According to Benjamin Jr. & Bushman, the weapons priming effect is, in fact, associated with physically seeing a weapon, in addition to being exposed to violence-related words [1]. The literature shows that "weapons effect" and weapons priming effect" may be synonymous. Charlottercrane (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Ambigous title
[edit]Ive never heard of this scope but imo weapons effect refers to the given damage of weapons, either the resulting effect (good effect/poor effect on target), or the intended effect (fragmentation damage, preassure damage, armor-piercing effect) etc. Compare German: Waffenwirkung, Swedish: vapenverkan, and so fourth.
Thus, i feel the article should be moved so we can eventually make an article to d:Q138427687. ᛒᛚᚮᚴᚴᚼᛆᛁ ᛭ 𝔅𝔩𝔬𝔠𝔨𝔥𝔞𝔧 15:09, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
