Arme de trait

Inuit utilisant un propulseur

Une arme de trait est un outil destiné à envoyer un projectile à distance par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme (bras de levier, ressort, compression, etc.), contrairement aux armes de jet qui utilisent directement l’action mécanique des muscles du lanceur humain et aux armes à feu utilisant la force d'une explosion de matériaux chimiques.

L'une des premières armes de trait inventées par l'homme est le propulseur, dès le Paléolithique supérieur[1].

Existent également la fronde, l'arc, l'arbalète, la sarbacane et le lance-pierre.
