👉 An affiliated weapon, also known as a derivative weapon, is a modified or altered version of an existing weapon that is designed and manufactured by a specific organization, often linked to a particular faction, nation, or group. These weapons are usually tailored to meet the specific tactical needs, combat styles, or cultural preferences of the affiliated party. Affiliated weapons can range from simple modifications like adding new parts to more complex changes such as altering the weapon's design, materials, or even its functionality. They are often used in conflicts where a standardized weapon would not be effective or appropriate, providing the affiliated group with an advantage in combat.
