👉 The adopted weapon, often referred to as the national symbol or emblem, is typically a specific type of weapon that has been embraced by a nation as representing its military prowess, historical legacy, and cultural identity. This weapon is usually chosen for its historical significance, aesthetic appeal, or symbolic meaning, and it is prominently featured on military insignia, uniforms, and official documents. For instance, the French tricolor flag with its associated weapon, the épée, symbolizes liberty, equality, and fraternity, while the Japanese katana embodies honor, discipline, and skill. Adopting a weapon serves to unify the populace under a common symbol of national pride and strength.
