👉 The term "formerly weapon" refers to an object that was historically used for combat or defense purposes but has since been repurposed, modified, or reclassified for other uses. This could include items like the Colt Single Action Army, a revolver that was widely used in the 19th century but now often displayed as a historical artifact or collector's item, or even certain types of firearms that have been modified for non-lethal purposes. These items transition from their original military or combat roles to serve in civilian contexts, such as law enforcement, hunting, or historical reenactments. The shift often involves changes in design, materials, or functionality to make them safer and more versatile for non-lethal applications.
