👉 An operated weapon refers to a firearm or other projectile weapon that is controlled and fired by the user through a mechanism such as a trigger, finger pull, or other manual controls. This allows the operator to aim and release the weapon with precision, typically requiring some level of training or practice to master. Operated weapons can range from simple handguns with basic trigger mechanisms to complex rifles and shotguns with intricate designs for enhanced accuracy and functionality. They are commonly used in various contexts, including law enforcement, military operations, hunting, and sport shooting.
