👉 The "ignored weapon" refers to a type of weapon that, despite being recognized as potentially lethal or dangerous, is often overlooked or underutilized in combat scenarios. This can be due to a variety of factors, including cultural perceptions, lack of training, or simply being deemed less effective in certain contexts. For example, in some military doctrines, non-lethal weapons like tasers or pepper spray are prioritized for their ability to subdue without causing fatalities, but they may not be used in situations where a more direct and lethal response is deemed necessary. The term highlights the gap between acknowledging the potential danger of certain weapons and their actual utilization in real-world combat situations.
