👉 A disabled weapon is a firearm or ammunition that has been rendered non-functional, typically through deliberate disabling, accidental malfunction, or damage beyond repair. This can involve removing the barrel, stripping the magazine, or disarming the trigger mechanism, rendering the weapon incapable of firing a bullet or projectile. Disabled weapons are often handled with extreme caution due to the potential for accidental discharge and the risk of causing harm. They are usually stored separately from functional weapons to prevent misuse or unauthorized access, and their status is often clearly marked to ensure safety and compliance with legal regulations.
