Weapons

Weapons are objects, that player can setup to deal damage to other objects or players. Every block in Space Engineers has a total integrity or "health", this is integrity is determined by the sum of its parts so if a block is filled with Steel Plates and Metal Grids it's fairly robust compared to Interior Plate. It's important to note that most weapons have a maximum range, this maximum range is often 800 meters - if the weapon's round or missile has traveled past that distance it will no longer damage anything. Although it is possible to construct specialized guided torpedoes that can travel well beyond 800 meters, since they are technically ships themselves.
