👉 The essentials weapon, often referred to as the primary or main weapon, is the firearm or ranged weapon that a soldier uses for close and medium-range combat. It's typically designed for versatility, carrying multiple ammunition types, and offering a balance between firepower, accuracy, and mobility. Modern soldiers often carry a combination of handguns (like the Glock or Glock 17) and semi-automatic rifles (such as the M4 Carbine or M16) to ensure they can adapt to various combat situations, from urban warfare to open battlefields. The choice of weapon depends on factors like mission requirements, personal preference, and tactical training.
