How to Say "weapons" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “weapons” is “armas” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

The museum has a collection of ancient weapons.
La policía encontró las armas en el coche.
The police found the weapons in the car.
Para tener éxito, tus mejores armas son la paciencia y el trabajo duro.

A Tricky Gender Rule
Even though 'arma' is a feminine word, in its singular form we say 'el arma'. This is a special rule to make the pronunciation flow better and avoid the 'a-a' sound of 'la arma'. In the plural, it goes back to normal: 'las armas'.
Singular vs. Plural
Mistake: “La arma es peligrosa.”
Correction: El arma es peligrosa. Remember that for singular feminine words starting with a stressed 'a' sound (like agua, alma, arma), you use 'el'. But any describing words still need to be feminine, like 'peligrosa'.
