Usage notes
- For weapons, use armare; for preparing people or teams, equipaggiare is often more natural.
- In military/naval contexts, armare can mean fitting out a ship, not just giving weapons.
- With firearms, armare often means cock or ready the mechanism; caricare is specifically to load ammunition.
