Here is a list of articles in the category '''Projectile weapons''' of the [[HandWiki:Engineering|Engineering]] portal. Articles relating to ranged weapons, any [[Social:Weapon|weapon]] that can engage targets beyond hand-to-hand distance, i.e. at distances greater than the physical reach of the user holding the weapon itself. The act of using such a weapon is also known as [[Engineering:Shooting|shooting]]. It is sometimes also called '''projectile weapon''' or '''missile weapon''' because it typically works by launching solid [[Physics:Projectile|projectile]]s ("missiles"), though technically a [[Physics:Fluid|fluid]]-projector (which throws out [[Physics:Jet (fluid)|pressurized stream]]s of [[Physics:Liquid|liquid]] or even [[Physics:Gas|gas]]) and a [[Physics:Directed-energy weapon|directed-energy weapon]] (which does not involve any tangible projectile) are also ranged weapons.
