There are many weapons on Earth and The Ark, which are listed here.
Primitive Melee
Axes
Axes are common, and can serve as utilitarian tools. As weapons, they are generally relatively easy to use for the amount of damage they can cause.
Bellamy Blake's axe appears to either be homemade or a re-purposed survival tool. Clarke Griffin used it to cut John Murphy down before he suffocated from being hung.
Axes are also used by Grounders in the battles.
Knives
Knives are useful tools, that despite their small size can still be effective as deadly bladed weapons. Charlotte used a knife made from scrap metal to kill Wells Jaha. John Murphy has used his knife to threaten his victims. Lexa used a Scottish dirk. Knives are also used by Grounders, too. During the Final Conclave at Polis, Kane reveals that the Blue Cliff warrior has two Corvo Knives.
Swords
The Grounders used swords in close quarters combat and was used by Lexa after all of the Grounders cut a traitor to give the final kill. They also use these weapons in the battles.
Machetes
Machetes are also used by Grounder warriors as weapons.
Primitive Ranged
Spears
A spear was thrown by a Woods Clan member into Jasper Jordan's chest. By inspection, the shaft appears to be made of wood while blade appears to be discolored iron or steel. Lexa also used a spear to kill Queen Nia.
Bow and Arrow
Used by Grounders, all bows seen have been short bows made of wood.
Crossbow
Only members of Floukru have been seen using crossbows.
Firearms
M4a1
The 100 found some packed for long-term storage in an old military base. While the rifles still function well, much of the ammunition has gone bad. The 100 used M4a1 rifles to ward off Grounders attacking the Delinquents' Camp.
Pistol
Bellamy was given a semiautomatic pistol by Commander Shumway to kill Chancellor Thelonious Jaha. It ran out of ammunition after Wells Jaha shot the panther in "Pilot". The pistol seems to be an FN Five-SeveN with a tactical light mounted on it.
T97NSR
The bullpup rifle, known as the T97NSR, is a pre-war Chinese assault rifle. it appears to be the main guard weapon used in the Ark. It is seen frequently in Season Two, used by the Camp Jaha guards.
It is unclear how the survivors of the Ark acquired them, but since it is Chinese-made, it is possible it was part of a payload of supplies sent to the Shenzhen before the creation of the Ark.
CAA Tactical Roni
This gun is seen used by Finn Collins from "Many Happy Returns" to "Spacewalker". It was given to him by Bellamy Blake at the end of "Many Happy Returns".
Minigun (unknown model)
At the onset of Season Three, the vehicle used by various characters features a clearly visible minigun mounted on the front (to be used by the person in the front passenger seat). The weapon is of unknown origin, but likely originated in the now-vacant Mount Weather, as such a weapon would be illogical to use on a space station. Additionally, Mount Weather is known to have had an arsenal of heavy weaponry, such as guided missiles, so theorizing that the weapon originated there is not unrealistic.
Sniper Rifles
These firearms are known as only used by the Mountain Men. They have very good scopes and are suppressed, the first time we see it being used is in Season Two while two Mountain Men soldiers were hunting down Clarke and Lexa in episode Coup de Grâce. At the end of the Season Four finale, Clarke Griffin and Madi also have a sniper rifle, which has the written names of people who's been lost.[1]
RPG
The Rocket-Propelled Grenade launcher is a Rocket launcher used by Otan, outside in the Dead Zone.
Small Explosive / Chemical
Bombs
An explosive device created by Raven Reyes and used by Guard and the Delinquents. She used rocket fuel (hydrazine) from the crashed Exodus ship and gunpowder from bullets in order to make a bomb to blow up a bridge. The device proved powerful enough to destroy the structure as well as anyone nearby. In Blood Must Have Blood (Part 1), a hydrazine bomb was used to weaken Mount Weather's main door.
Landmines
Raven is also able to make landmines. In the Dead Zone, two of Jaha's followers were killed in a landmine.
Grenades
Raven has been able to make explosive fragmentation grenades from available raw materials.
Knock-Out Gas Cans
The Mountain Men have grenades containing a knock-out gas. Knock-out gas is a strong general anesthetic.
Flashbangs
Used by Mountain Men as a form of crowd control.
Flares
Flares used by the Delinquents to signal The Ark, burned down a Grounder village and started the war with the Grounders.
Gunpowder
The last of the loose gunpowder used in the bridge bomb was taken from old bullets, Jasper been able to make more gunpowder using his chemistry knowledge. In We Are Grounders (Part 1), Murphy used gunpowder to blow up a part of the dropship so he could escape from the Delinquents' Camp.
Hydrazine
Highly unstable in its nonsolid form. Appears dark pink in color. The Delinquents scavenged some from the crashed Exodus ship, then later used a supply under the original dropship.
Large Explosive / Chemical
Acid Fog
- Main article: Acid Fog
Acid Fog or The Veil was a poisonous gas created by the Mountain Men. The Grounders had a warning system where they blew a horn to alert others of the fog. In Bodyguard of Lies, Bellamy Blake destroyed the Acid Fog machine so it is no longer be a threat.
Guided Missile
The Mountain Men had a limited arsenal of guided missiles which home in on laser designators. Such a missile was used to destroy the Trikru village of Tondc and at least one more had been used before Season One.
Nuclear Missile
The Ark was in possession of nuclear missiles and warheads left behind from the Nuclear Apocalypse. One was rode into the Dead Zone by Thelonious Jaha, and A.L.I.E. was later in possession of the same missile in her mansion. In 2052, A.L.I.E. has launched nuclear missiles that have caused a Nuclear Apocalypse, including 27 ICBMs from China. In 2054, the Alpha Station launched one of the missiles that destroyed Polaris, in order to get all 12 space stations to join the Ark.
Biological
Poison
Used on knives/arrows/ spears. The toxin is natural and derived from plant life similar to manchineel tree sap. The antidote comes from the beetles that feed on the river moss.[2]
Red Drug
- Main article: Mountain Men/Cerberus Project
The Red Drug is an addictive biological drug created by the Mountain Men. It was used to turn the captured Grounders into Reapers.
Hemorrhagic Fever
A virus used by the Grounders on the Delinquents to "soften the battlefield" prior to engaging with footmen for hand-to-hand combat. The Grounders infected John Murphy with Viral Hemorrhagic Fever[3] and let him escape their prison camp. Murphy returned to the Delinquents' Camp and infected the Delinquents, causing at least three known deaths.
Electrical
Ark Guard baton
A shock baton or a stun stick is a short-range melee weapon. As an electrically powered stun baton, it is essentially a high-tech club that can also immobilized targets with a powerful electrical shock.
It was initially used as a non-lethal weapon by the Ark Guard to police the Ark residents. Once the Sky People arrived on Earth, under the Exodus Charter, the stun stick was then also used as punishment in the form of shock lashes.
Tone generators
A hand-held device that generates a specific tone that incapacitates any nearby Reapers. Used by Mount Weather Guard to disarm Reapers during harvesting.
