👉 A shed weapon, often associated with the term "shedder," is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that utilizes discarded materials like tires, plastic bottles, and metal sheets to create a compact, explosive charge. The shed weapon typically involves cutting or tearing these materials into small, manageable pieces and then placing them in a container or a confined space. When triggered, often by a trigger mechanism or by impact, the explosive material detonates, releasing a significant amount of force. This makes shed weapons particularly dangerous due to their ease of concealment and the unpredictable nature of their detonation, often leading to devastating consequences in urban environments.
