# Weapons

<figure><img src="/files/nqLJyGFdTrN3Bm0eZk2j" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The **Weapons** module is pretty self-explanatory.  Objects in range appear on the targeting screen.  The crew member selects the one they want to attack, presses the `Hold to Fire` button, and ***kablamo!***

## Much Ado About Weapons

*Infinity Command* currently supports 3 weapon categories:

1. **Torpedoes** — Slower projectiles that home-in on their target
2. **Blasters** — Multiple short bursts of fast-moving energy
3. **Beams** — Lasers / phasers

All these categories have the same net effect—dealing damage to a target.  They only differ in visual appearance.

From these 3 categories, [all sorts of weapons have been created](/infinity-command/content/weapons.md), which range through whatever colors you want.  You can find their definitions in the [Content Pack](/infinity-command/getting-started/content-pack.md) and you can see them all in action in the Demo script.

## How This Relates to the Weapons Module

**Weapons** are assigned to **Launchers**, which are assigned to the **Weapons Module** in crew stations.

For example, the Weapons module on the Pilot's station could use a launcher that has Cascade Warheads, whereas the Weapons module on the Tactical station could use a launcher that has Plasma Blasters.  It's also possible for more than one Crew Station to operate the same launcher.

All these assignments are configurable in the Ship's config file.

## Who Gets to Shoot?

Like all Modules, the Weapons module can be assigned to any / all crew stations.

In the built-in example ship, ***all*** crew stations have access to the Weapons module. Why?  It gives all crew members something to do during peacetime as well as a meaningful way to contribute during combat.  It keeps players engaged at all times throughout the mission.

That said, weapon assignments are 100% configurable, so feel free to adjust it as desired in your own ship.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://infinity-command.gitbook.io/infinity-command/crew-stations/weapons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
