a) tomahawk -like a stone hatchet (European - little axe) but at least it is an original Native american weapon
b) bayonet -no - European invention (French word)
c) bowie knife - based on a German hunting/fighting knife (Messer)
d) sabre - NO WAY! developed by turkic peoples centuries before America had steel!!!
e) any other, maybe axes - The A bomb?
My vote is for the tomahawk.

Nuclear Bombs. device weapons (you could count selection it as a gun nevertheless). The airplane. Armed drones. The submarine. TNT. +++++++++++++ J, Im no longer attempting to declare all weapons have been invented via human beings or something. in basic terms some we made. a pair cavets nevertheless, like on the submarine, the human beings have been the 1st to weaponize it, yet a submarine concept have been tried earlier the Turtle, purely no longer as a weapon. France became into the 1st with a helicopter. yet I do see your element, i became into no longer conscious this became right into a rehashed question.

I didn't realize this was multiple choice but I came up with c) the Bowie knife before I saw my choices. Maybe it was the previous question that I answered about Texas that inspired me.

Any sort or gun that makes a lot of noise. Americans are notorious for liking things that "go boom," even back when we were first starting out. When America was separating from England, it was a little too late for sword duels and such, so we are really known for guns. Namely muskets.

The bomb baby! The bomb! We are also the only nation to employ it in wartime. Those wack jobs who crashed planes into WTC should remember that.
