👉 A miscellaneous weapon, also known as a "bushwhacker" or "tin can," is an improvised weapon typically made from everyday objects like tin cans, bottles, or even discarded metal scraps. These weapons are often used in situations where conventional firearms are unavailable, and they can be surprisingly effective for self-defense or as a last resort. The term "bushwhacker" specifically refers to a type of tin can used for this purpose, often with a sharp edge or handle. These weapons are not regulated by law in many places and can vary widely in design and effectiveness, making them a versatile but unpredictable tool in emergency situations.
