The ECIA 60mm Commando Mortar is a Spanish light-weight mortar designed to be small, light and simple and yet fire the same ammunition as the standard 60 mm mortar. The ECIA 60mm Commando Mortar fires a 2.05 kg streamlined bomb between 50 metres and 1290 metres at a rate of up to 15 rounds-per-minute.

The ECIA Model L Mortar is a Spanish, 60mm calibre platoon mortar capable of being carried by one man. The Model L fires a Model AE bomb a maximum range of 3800 metres at a rate of fire of up to 30 rounds-per-minute.

The ECIA Model LL Mortar is a Spanish, 60mm calibre platoon mortar capable of being carried by one man. The Model LL fires a Model AE bomb a maximum range of 4800 metres at a rate of fire of up to 30 rounds-per-minute. The Model LL is in effect a Model L, but fitted with a heavier and stronger barrel to allow a secondary charge to be used to achieve a longer range. The Model LL is also drop-fired only, not being fitted with a firing trigger.

The Eryx is a French shoulder-fired, short range, semi-automatic wire guided anti-tank missile designed for use at the shorter ranges, less than 500 meters, that other wire guided anti-tank missiles could not be used at. Eryx fires a 160 mm diameter rocket to an effective range of 600 metres and can penetrate more than 900 mm of armour.

The EX-29 is an American short recoil operated single-barrelled 20 mm cannon. The EX-29 has a mechanically selectable rate of fire of 250 or 550 or any rate up to 550 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 1006 metres per second. The EX-29 is produced in both single and dual feed models, the dual feed providing a quick change from armour piercing to high-explosive rounds.

The Exocet is a range of French anti-ship missiles. They typically have a range of 70 km and a flight speed of mach 0.8. Exocet missiles can be launched by aircraft or ships. The missiles are guided, and fly less than three metres above the sea level.

The Exocet AM39 is a French air launched anti-ship missile by Aerospatiale. The missile is equipped with a steel cased Tristan solid propellant rocket motor and a Narval booster motor. The missile approaches the target at speeds over Mach 0.9 and the range is 50 to 70 kilometres. The Exocet's 165 kg high explosive shaped charge warhead is armed with a delayed impact and a proximity fuse.

The Exocet MM38 is a French ship-launched inertial cruise, anti-ship, active radar homing missile with a range of 42 km and a flight speed of 0.9 Mach. It carries a 165 kg warhead.

The Exocet MM40 is the ship-launched long-range version of the Exocet family of anti-ship missiles, with the same general characteristics and the same reliability. The MM40 possesses a great enemy defence penetration capability and the fact that several missiles can be fired in a salvo while others are kept in reserve (thanks to the small-diameter cylindrical launcher-container). The Exocet MM40 has an over-the-horizon capability, used if necessary, in conjunction with a discreet target indicating airborne relay, usually a helicopter with the system retaining its 'fire and forget' characteristics throughout. The Exocet MM40 is powered by two solid-propellant rockets (booster and sustainer) and steered by aerodynamic control surfaces, and flies just above sea level to a range of over 70 km.

The Exocet SM39 is a French submarine launched anti-ship missile by Aerospatiale. The missile is equipped with a steel cased Tristan solid propellant rocket motor and a Narval booster motor. The target range and bearing data is downloaded from the submarine's tactical data system and weapon control system into the Exocet's computer. The SM39 in a launch capsule is launched from the submarine's torpedo tubes and the launch capsule is propelled away from the submarine and clear of the surface of the sea by a solid propellant motor. The missile separates from the capsule and the boost motor is ignited. The missile approaches the target area in sea skimming mode using inertial navigation and then active radar homing. The missile approaches the target at speeds over Mach 0.9 and the range is 50 kilometres. The Exocet's 165 kg high explosive shaped charge warhead is armed with a delayed impact and a proximity fuse.
