👉 A crash weapon is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) designed to cause immediate, localized destruction and casualties by detonating near or directly on a person. Typically constructed from readily available materials like plastic bottles, metal cans, or other lightweight objects, the crash weapon is often thrown or hurled at its target with the intent to injure or kill. Upon impact, the explosive force causes severe physical trauma, often resulting in fatal injuries due to blunt force trauma, internal bleeding, or other mechanisms of injury. The simplicity and ease of assembly make crash weapons particularly dangerous and effective in asymmetric warfare scenarios.
