People wear clothes, not weapons.

The Paiute used short, flat, sinew-backed bows for hunting and warfare, but they had access only to poor-grade juniper or birch timber and consequently their bows were inefficient. Similarly they could not obtain hardwood long enough or suitable for arrows and usually used cane with a short length of hardwood inserted at the front, with a chipped stone point.

Clubs with stone heads were also used; the stone head was encased in rawhide and attached firmly to a wooden handle.

Some Paiute warriors wore armour of elk-hide, but none carried a shield of any kind. Spears would be extremely rare due to the lack of suitable wood for the shaft.

Throw-sticks were used for hunting rabbits and other small creatures.
