👉 A cassette weapon, also known as a cassette gun or a cassette pistol, is a compact and often improvised firearm typically constructed from a metal cassette found in a cassette tape recorder or a similar device. These weapons are usually made by cutting the cassette into a cylindrical shape and inserting a barrel, often made from metal or plastic, through the center. The casing is usually reinforced with wire mesh or other materials to provide a secure grip and prevent the casing from shattering upon discharge. Despite their small size, cassette weapons can be effective due to the high velocity of the projectile, which can cause significant damage. They are often used in urban environments and by individuals seeking a quick and easy means of self-defense, though their use is illegal in many places due to the potential for causing harm.
