Collision (physical attack)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attacks by means of a deliberate collision can be:
- with the body: unarmed striking, punching, kicking, martial arts, pugilism
- striking directly with a mêlée weapon, such as a sword, club or axe
An attacking collision with a distant object can be achieved by throwing or launching a projectile. Projectiles can be:
- unpowered, thus depending on momentum transferred from the launcher:
- powered in flight:
- rocket
- guided in flight:
Rockets and missiles usually carry explosives, in which case they do not need to achieve a direct collision to be effective, if they are detonated at the right moment.
