👉 A protecting weapon, often referred to as a guard or shield in combat terminology, is a defensive tool used by individuals to safeguard themselves from physical attacks during confrontations or battles. It can range from a simple stick or piece of wood to more elaborate and specialized equipment like a padded shield, a helmet with a visor, or even a full-body armor designed to deflect blows and protect vital areas. The primary function of a protecting weapon is to provide a barrier against incoming strikes, allowing the user to maintain their defensive stance and potentially counterattack. Effective using a protecting weapon requires skill, timing, and situational awareness to maximize its protective capabilities while minimizing the risk of injury to oneself.
